I cannot revert to an older version of a design

The design I've been working on for a while just used an offline update as it's current file save and now I cannot get back to the work I had done for almost an entire day since that offline save.  
The time and date of a save should be considered when an offline save was made to when the "save" actually occurred.  I'm going to have to download the old .stp file and get the dimensions off of what I have added to my design because the .stp files don't bring in the links associated with my designs.    This seems like a bit of an oversight...

Here is what happened.  I opened the design on another computer to do some machining on a component, that machine has Fusion360 on it and we run keyways on it; so it doesn't have to be connected to the internet all the time since wifi is spotty back in the shop.  The operator must have saved it after he used the file and then closed it.  The next day after working on the design for a few hours; I saved it and left for the weekend (I did not close the design).  Come Monday morning, I get a little yellow triangle saying my design is out of date and I cannot save over it and I cannot open the older design.    
This will take me about an hour to get back to where it was; not the end of the world but a pretty incontinent use of time since I've already done this once.

@Cbyrdtopper When you expanded the versions you have and chose to open an older version, it did not let you open that version? What error was it showing?

@Cbyrdtopper The read-only is as per the design. What you can do then is go to File - save as latest and it will push that version as the latest version.

Excellent!!  I've never ran into this issue before and didn't know the solution.  Thank you so much!
