# Restoring files and folders.

#### Most files and folders can be restored from previous dates/saves.

This is helpful if you made saves to a document that you need to fix or if you deleted a file from a folder that you need again.

<p class="callout warning">Currently you can only restore from about 1 week prior.</p>

1.) Select the file or folder you wish to restore.
