Roll back to previous version

I want to restore a deleted level and the info that was ref'd to that level that got deleted by "rolling back".   It's one of those functions that can't be undone using "undo".      In this help article on how to rollback a BIM 360 shared model, why is step #4, "restore backup"  grayed out for me?    Trying to restore/use the previous save version.    

 

Step #4 Click Collaborate tab, Manage Models panel, (Restore Backup)."

If you rolled back and saved over the current version then you effectively wiped out all backups of it. You need to find a local file that has not been synced containing the original level and save it back to the BIM360 as a new central file.

In the future, never roll back when restoring backups, use saves to a different file so that you can open and inspect it before replacing the current model.

Thanks.  Fortunately not alot lost, not too hard to recreate.   You confirm my suspicion, gone into the great digital beyond.   In pre-BIM 360 days, there would be a vesion with multiple 10 versions auto-named <modelname>0000001.rvt  etc for the saves along the way.

Marking your own post as the solution again?! That button is to mark the post that answers your question. We've been over this before.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Marking all the responses doesn't help someone find the solution either.
