How to Recover a File After I Choose Not to Save the Changes

1. Avoid closing out the program after you have edited the document but want to return it back to normal. You may click 'Ctrl' and 'Z' or 'Apple' and 'Z' (when using a Mac computer) and the document moves back to a previous step. Continue pressing this until you remove all of the edits you want. You may also click 'Edit,' 'Undo' to perform the same actions.
2. Launch the software back up if you have already closed the document but did not save the changes. Click the 'File' tab and you may find all of the 'Recent' documents displayed. Choose the document you recently have been working on and the information appears since its last auto save (the computer automatically saves the document in progress, just in case you fail to before the program is closed or freezes).
3. Select 'File,' 'Open' if you never saved any changes to the document and want the original file open. A browse window appears on the computer screen. Select the file you wish to view, then choose 'Open' and the original document loads onto the computer screen, without all of the unsaved edits.
