Recover earlier versions of an Excel file
If you close your file without saving it, a version is kept temporarily so that you can recover it when you open the file again.
If you are working in a newly created file, or a temporary one (such as an e-mail attachment in Outlook) and then close it without saving, follow these steps to open the last autosaved draft:
- Open the Office 2010 application that you were using
- Click the File tab
- Click Recent
- Click Recover Unsaved Documents if you are in Word 2010, Recover Unsaved Workbooks if you are in Excel 2010 or Recover Unsaved Presentations if you are in PowerPoint 2010
- Your saved drafts folder will open in a new window. Select the file and then click Open
- In the business bar at the top of the file, click Save As to save your file to your computer.
