How to restore form to one of its previous versions

    All of my hard work disappeared!!!

    I had my form almost perfect, with a zillion conditionals, etc. I tested it several times, saving it all along, and then clicked Support to find out something extra to add. When I used my browser's back button, it reverted to a version that I had saved days ago. Is there anyway you can recover the form with all of the conditionals and everything (they are a real pain to enter, by the way)? 

    So very very very upset to lose about 3 hours of work! You need to fix your software! The form _was_ https://form.jotform.com/60456902564963.

    There is a Revision History tool available at JotForm which can be used to restore the forms to their previous versions.

    Very glad to have that option, and it did show me my work. I clicked on the
    version I wanted, and it has the green check box saying "current version".
    However, when I then go to "edit form", it is the ancient version, so I
    can't actually get to the revision I wanted to make it the form. A little
    confused.

    I just realized something. The last revision yesterday was adding a page
    break. I looked at the ancient version of the form after I chose this
    revision and saw that a page break was added to it. Do I have to choose all
    of the revisions (hundreds) individually?

    You should be able to restore to a specific version.  When I checked your revision history, there were quite a few restore points, including when you made the most changes:

    Is one of these not the correct version of the form you are looking for?
