Recover documents in document libraries with no versioning
Hi JasonYeung
I believe the setting should be enabled by default upon creation. But if for any reason it was not, unfortunately it is possible to restore from versioning. You could try to restore the library from:
Setting > Restore this library option. But that would of course restore the entire document library to a previous time. The restore will undo all the actions that occurred on both files and folders in the library.

Thanks for the information. I have enabled the tracking for the document library affected. As restoring the entire library would affect changes to all the documents, there would be too many changes. I won't restore the entire library as a result, but it's good to know that this option is available. We'll recreate the file instead.
