Hi

Does PWA have the feature that user can rollback the project file to the previous version?

I can easily do this operation on sharepoint, but on PWA I can't find how to achieve this..
I have read this help doc Restore item-level objects by using Project Web Access (Project Server 2007) | Microsoft Docs

but...I can't find the Administrative Restore button. Thanks for the help.

Di Hu --

You need to ask your application administrator if your organization is using Project Online or Project Server.  Project Web App (PWA) is simply the web-based user interface to both of these software applications.  Project Online resides in the Microsoft cloud, while Project Server would be installed locally on your company's servers.

If you have Project Online, then again, I want to stress that there is no backup/restore operation in the software.  If you are using Project Server, then your system administrator is the person who would have to set up automatic backups, and restore a project when necessary.

Hope this helps.

    If you are using Project Online, there is no administrative back and restore feature.  If you are using Project Server, I believe this feature is available, but only a system admin can do the backup and restore.  Hope this helps.

    Hi Dale

    Thanks for your feedback.

    I am using PWA, is this the project online in your reply?

    If yes, I am a bit surprised. How can I restore the to a previous version if I have any incorrect edit? Thanks
