How to exit artwork WITHOUT saving?

Question

Hi everyone,

Not sure if this is possible yet, can I exit a drawing without auto saving?

There has been a few times when I have a complex piece of artwork that gets accidentally messed up by the user (me, lol) and it can be difficult to see exactly what went wrong, but I know somthing bad and it's obviously ruined. Is there a way to back out of the drawing and reopen it fresh or "revert to open state" prior to closing/backing out to the projects Home Screen and having the app auto-save the destruction??

Or would you suggest creating duplicates as you might backup files on desktop each time significant progress is made or prior to opening file to negate loss or ruin?

Any tips or tricks would be appreciated!

I don't know of a way to exit without auto-saving, but you can restore a previous version using version history. If you look at the thumbnail of your file on the home screen, there is a ... menu and from there you can choose View version history. You can revert to a previous version from there that doesn't have the changes you made. You will see a list of time-stamped versions. The version history of a file goes back 30 days, so it's a good idea to go in and flag the versions to keep in your history (tap the bookmark icon), so they don't get removed after 30 days.
