I'm trying to recover a file that had autosaves

I’m trying to recover a file that had autosaves, but after a recovery, I’m only getting the non autosaved file. I’m trying to access “paths” but whenever I select a folder after clicking path, NOTHING happens. How do I fix this? What am I doing wrong? Im selecting the folder where the document is

Hi JackMB

No information from you on either LO version nor OS+version, so it is really difficult to help.

LO folders & files are hidden by default. You will need to select options to allow you to see those folders (and possibly files).

“after a recovery, I’m only getting the non autosaved file”

They are different files:

  • Autosaved (backup) files
    (user/backup)
    (saved as doc-filename.bak)
  • Recovery files
    (2 files:- same folder as document + root of Profile folder)
    (hidden files)

If this helps then please tick the answer (:heavy_check_mark:)
