Description menashe.eliezer 2021-05-04 19:41:19 UTC
Hello,
In certain point the presented version of the file was an old one, without last 30 minutes work. Then after reopening LibreOffice you've reported an error in opening the file and presented the good long file. In that point there was no option to edit it and you asked whether to open a copy. It wasn't clear (no warning!) that means overwriting the good file with the old shorter revision! Please warn the users.
I haven't had backup settings active. Is there any way I could recover this important file?

P.S.
Not related, but I thought I should start using the versioning option for keeping all revisions in case of important documents (a feature built-in in Google Documents), but it's disabled and I cannot find any information online on how to use it.

Thank you,
Menashè
