DocumentLibraryVersion.Restore method (Office)

  • Article

Restores a previous saved version of a shared document from the DocumentLibraryVersions collection.

Syntax

expression.Restore

expression A variable that represents a DocumentLibraryVersion object.

Return value

Object

Remarks

Use the Restore method to return to an earlier saved version of the active document. The Restore method does several things:

  1. It changes the open version of the shared document to read-only mode but leaves it open.

  2. It opens the restored version in read/write mode.

  3. It saves the restored version to the server as a new document version, making the restored version the latest version.

The Restore method raises a run-time error if the active document has changes that have not been saved.

Example

The following example restores the previous version of the active document.

 Dim dlvVersions As Office.DocumentLibraryVersions 
 Set dlvVersions = ActiveDocument.DocumentLibraryVersions 
 dlvVersions(dlvVersions.Count - 1).Restore 
 Set dlvVersions = Nothing
