Hey,

In an Excel file I use I've got the message "UPLOAD FAILED The server quota has been exceeded". I accidently clicked "Discard Changes" and now all the changes I made throughout the the year are gone. If I look into the "Version History" of the file, then there is one of a year ago. But throughout the year I made several changes and saved them (ctrl+s). So where are those changes then? and can I recover the file?

Thanks for your help!

    Hi @R C ,
    Did you enable the AutoRecover option in Excel? You can go to File- Options- Save and check if you have checked these options:

    You can check if you can get any files under Recover file location.

    Then you can also go to Flie- Info- Manage Workbook. That’s where you’ll find your previous versions of the workbook.
