    OneDrive File is replaced by an older version.


    Hi,I have a coding file I was working on that is saved to my school's OneDrive account/computer. In order to work on it at home, I synced my school OneDrive account with my home computer.After doing so, an older version of that file appeared, even though I worked on and saved that file on the same day on the school computer.Just looking for a fix for this - Thanks!

    :)

    File replaced with a older version on Onedrive

    Where are the results of the steps I asked you to perform?

    If there are no older files in OneDrive where the file is stored, then how could it have been replaced with an older version?

    Is it possible the later version was not saved? Do you have auto-save turned on?

    I asked you about Previous Versions. Is it turned on, yes or no?

    OneDrive File is replaced by an older version.

    Hello! My name is Cristiano. I'm an Independent Advisor. I'm glad to help you.

    Please:

    >> Make sure that the OneDrive folder on your home computer is properly configured and syncing with your school account. Sync errors can occur, resulting in outdated files being copied over.

    >> OneDrive keeps a version history of your files, allowing you to restore previous versions. Right-click on the file in question, choose "Version history," and see if the latest version is available. If it is, you can restore it to replace the older version.

    >> Double-check that you saved the file with the changes you made on the school computer before syncing. If the changes weren't saved properly, the older version may have been the last saved version on your school's OneDrive account.

    >> If the above steps don't resolve the issue, reach out to your school's IT support team for further assistance. They can investigate the synchronization problem and help recover the latest version of your file.

    Hope this helps!
