[h=4]To Use AutoRecover:
Excel automatically saves your workbooks to a temporary folder while you are working on
them. If you forget to save your changes, or if Excel crashes, you can recover the autosaved file.
Open a workbook that was previously closed without saving.
In
Backstage view, click
Info.
If there are autosaved versions of your workbook, they will appear under
Versions. Click on the file to open it.
A yellow caution note will appear on the ribbon of the workbook. To restore this version of the workbook click
Restore and then click
OK.
By default, Excel autosaves every 10 minutes. If you are editing a workbook for less than 10 minutes, Excel may not create an autosaved version.
If you do not see the file you are looking for, or if you are looking for an autosaved version of a file that
has no previously saved versions, you can browse all autosaved files by clicking on the
Manage Versions
button and selecting
Recover Unsaved Workbooks from the drop-down menu.
