All of the previous versions of the designs are shown on the window and you can preview each of the revisions.

You can freely select which version of the design you would like to go back to, and the time of creation can be listed clearly on the window. You can preview the design on the right-hand side of the window too.

After the selection of the revisions of the design, you can click on open/ restore to edit the selected version of your design. Simply click on the “Show” button. A window showing your earlier version of the design will automatically show up. And now, you can continue to edit your design with that opened version.
