accidental overwrite of an excel file

I accidentally saved a new excel file over another file.  How do I recover the original excel ?

  • Roadrunner50401952 If you're on Windows:

    Right-click the workbook in File Explorer.

    Select Properties from the context menu.

    Activate the Previous Versions tab and wait to see if it becomes populated.

    If there is a version from before you overwrote it, copy the older version to a different name and/or location.

    If not: I hope you have a recent backup of the old workbook...
