  3. Click on the Files tab in the panel which opened up to the right of the main window.
  4. Browse through your folder structure and click on the file you want to restore a previous version from. Then click on Restore.
    (Info) Restoring deleted files: If the file has not been overwritten with a new version, but has been deleted, you have to set the file list filter above the filesystem navigation to Deleted files first.
  5. In the wizard popping up click on the version you want to restore.
  6. Once you have selected the version you can choose to overwrite the existing version restoring the the file to the original location or restore the file to an alternative location. Please make your choice and click on Next.
  7. (Haken) Done. The file should have been restored to the location specified. If you restored the file to the original location, this change will be propagated to all other folder members as well. 

Overview:

Restoring multiple file versions

The wizard to restore multiple files is limited to just restore the latest version of the files which have been selected before.
