Previous versions are either copies of files and folders created by Windows Backup or copies of files and folders that Windows automatically saves as part of a restore point. You can use previous versions to restore files and folders that you accidentally modified or deleted, or that were damaged.
Right-click on the file and select "Restore previous versions". You'll get a popup that may say "There are no previous versions available" but if you're lucky, it'll start out reporting that it's searching (for possibly many seconds) for previous versions and then list the ones it's saved. Here's what it showed for me on a source file I've been working on recently but for which I had never requested any automatic backup.

NTFS is a journaling file system, meaning it's one that can track changes in files. That got turned on in Win7. Consistent with that being the start of the journaling, I found that it had snapshots of files I'd changed going back to my installation of Win7 but not of files that were older.
A file recover utility did the trick for me in a similar situation. Recuva has very good reviews and actually was able to recover several older versions of a power-point presentation I had inadvertently overwritten.
Free continuous backup software like DeltaCopy would allow you to pull the previous versions out of the backup destination, and that's a good thing to implement once you have recovered the desired version of your file.
When you modify and save (or a Windows app autosaves) a file, the prior version of the file is thrown away. It's probably still there, for Windows does not normally truly erase a deleted or modified file, instead marking the space the file previously used as reusable. If the file is erased, Windows then breaks the link between the space used by the file to the file name; if the file is modified, Windows changes the link of the file name to point to the new location.
Windows has written and replaced 3,600+ files so far today in six hours of use on my PC, and probably thousands on yours; it is very disk-intensive. Therefore, please abstain from using your PC for anything until you do these recovery steps.
a) Download the Testdisk software file for your OS.
b) Extract its files to a directory on a drive (an external USB attached drive is recommended) which was NOT used to save the desired Word file.
c) Read the README file.
d) Launch Photorec.
e) Specify recovery from the source drive where the file was.
f) Specify recovery to a destination drive (so it is not overwriting any clusters which might contain your data).
g) Start the recovery scan.
h) When scan completes, open the destination directory. A file name will have been randomly assigned by Photorec but the extension will match what you're looking for.
i) Open each of the recovered Word files which match the size (plus/minus 5%) of the file in question. Check to see what they contain. Delete them if not what you want.
Office (tested with Office 365 V1909) saves files for Word, Excel etc. in a similar way creating various temporary files. Instead of modifying the original file it creates a new file and renames and deletes the old one containing the old version.
IMPORTANT: make sure not to use the drive where the word file is stored until you are finished with recovering your deleted files. Space occupied by deleted files will be overwritten sooner or later when new data is saved on that drive.
If you can't find a file on your computer or you accidently modified or deleted a file, you can restore it from a backup (if you're using Windows backup) or you can try to restore it from a previous version. Previous versions are copies of files and folders that Windows automatically saves as part of a restore point. Previous versions are sometimes referred to as shadow copies.
Navigate to the folder that used to contain the file or folder, right-click it, and then select Restore previous versions. If the folder was at the top level of a drive, for example C:\, right-click the drive, and then select Restore previous versions.
You'll see a list of available previous versions of the file or folder. The list will include files saved on a backup (if you are using Windows Backup to back up your files) as well as restore points, if both types are available.
Double-click a previous version of the folder that contains the file or folder you want to restore. (For example, if a file was deleted today, choose a version of the folder from yesterday, which should contain the file.)
Right-click the file or folder, and then select Restore previous versions.
You'll see a list of available previous versions of the file or folder. The list will include files saved on a backup (if you're using Windows Backup to back up your files) as well as restore points, if both types are available.
I was working with a document, transferring it from Word to Libre office. When it asked if I wanted to save as an ODT document, over the document that already existed with that name, I thought I was just replacing the Word document with the ODT.
But in another folder, there was a document with the same name, and it saved over THAT one. Is there any way I can recover the document from the other folder that I did not mean to erase??
Although the links removed from the answers were spam, the point is valid that @Krunal1 now is engaged in a forensics operation of trying to recover an overwritten file from the disk if the backup was not enabled. I have used GPL 2+ applications TestDisk and PhotoRec for forensic recovery, both presently openly available online and (apparently) still being developed. Recovery of such data is hardly assured; often better to immediately recreate.
If you run Windows 7 you might be lucky to get the old version. In windows Explorer navigate to the file, right click on it, select Properties, select Previous Version (a Tab in the window). Windows is searching for older versions of the file. If an older version(s) shows up, select it and press the Copy button which allows you to copy the older version in a folder of your choice.
Otherwise it is necessary to try only this way:
DOC Repair Kit is a comprehensive Microsoft Word DOC repair tool with immense potential and an interface that makes the entire procedure a snap. Based on a lightning-fast proprietary core, the program knows how to repair Word DOC files in situations when other tools appear completely helpless.
This keeps popping up on one of my models. If I click yes I get an older version and no I get my latest one. I have hit save but I close the model and re-open and still get this error. Where is it saving these versions?
So, in general, if you had a crash and you see Recovered as part of your recent file name in the Welcome window, choose that, and when asked if you mean it, look at the thumbnails to see if the things you had done since the last save are worth keeping. Think about that too, because it could be that the last thing you did is what is crashing SketchUp.
One advantage of saving the recovered file as a new name file is that you do still have the previously saved file, and you can then take your time comparing the two, to see what was changed between the last save and the the most recent auto save before the crash.
I was working on a sheet and made significant changes and completed a "save as" file. Upon closing the auto save changed the original sheet and I now have lost a significant amount of work. Is there anyway to load a previous version or recover that data?
Thanks Andree, yes I had considered this an option to rebuild the sheet. I was hoping for a more streamlined solution before spending the time to rebuild the sheet from the activity log. Thanks for your time in responding here!
Hi there. I'd been working on an Excel doc on desktop Dropbox and accidentally closed the program without saving. Now I've lost 4 hours of progress and can only restore to the version I last saved at 2pm yesterday. Isn't Dropbox supposed to autosave versions every few minutes? Please send help asap! Thank you!

I am hoping someone can help me-- I was working on a Mac Word document stored on Dropbox all morning-- about 3.5 hours of work-- and I have autosave and know I saved it multiple times. My computer froze up and we ended up having to do a reboot of it. When the computer started up, I noticed none of the work I did today was saved-- neither on Dropbox or my computer-- only yesterday's version is present on Dropbox and it's listed as the most current version. I've checked my delete file and previous versions on both desktop and Dropbox. Is there anything else I can do before re-writing?
Hi Jane, thanks for the response. I am running 10.14.3 on my Mac and I'm pretty sure my Word is up-to-date. My IT dept looked into everything too and they can't find a trace of any updates between about 9 AM and noon when my system crashed. We ran a data recovery program overnight and it's only got my Wednesday draft and the work I did after it crashed to try to rewrite it. It's the weirdest thing. If we can't find it, I'll rewrite it all but it does make me nervous about using Dropbox--even though I've used it for a longtime and love it. I'm not sure there's anything that can be done to recover my file at your end? Thanks! H 152ee80cbc
