I’m trying to restore an Excel Document to a previous version but I’m unable accomplish this on my own.  I have OneDrive installed on my Windows 11 Pro Desktop. OneDrive is synchronized – yet when I right-click the Excel file I don’t see any option to restore to a previous document version. Why?

In Excel auto-save is on.

What else can I check?

How do you restore an Excel document to a previous version.

When you right-click on excel file, click on "Show more options" on the bottom of the menu. Version history should be there.

You can also try to go to OneDrive in your web browser and try from there.
