I made an automation with powerautomate, but unfortunately it changed fields of already existing records to a certain value.
This automation mistakenly changed over 1000 records and now I need a way to undo those changes.
How would I go about it?

@msabau Is versioning enabled for this SharePoint list? If versioning is already enabled, you might be able to restore previous version of list items.

Versioning is enabled, but for some reason I can only see 3 options when I right click on the list, I cannot see anything else regarding versions. For now, I spent a few hours to revert each single item from the list to the previous version and it was very tedious

@msabau Yes, it is a tedious work to restore so many list items. But, unfortunately, there is no other way to get the older information from list items other than restoring previous versions.

Solution@msabau Yes, you have to do this for all the records where you made the changes accidentally.
If you don't want to do it manually, you can automate the process using PowerShell. Check this article for more information: How to Restore Previous Document Version in SharePoint 2016 using PowerShell?
