Hi,

While copying and pasting, I lost many lines of code.

Is there any way to go back to the previous version?

If Ctrl or Cmd + Z doesn't undo what you did,  there is nothing DW can do to recover your code.  Do you have an older copy of the file on your remote server that you can recover the code from?

It's good practice to use Git version control and keep dedicated backup copies of your work somewhere just in case something goes wrong.

You dont need git on simple jobs you just need to be more organised. Keep regular back ups, copies of the file. Also you should have some kind of automatic back up installed on your computer by default. Every  Mac has time machine installed which regularly backs up your work through out the day. I dont know if a pc has anything similar. Git is best applied when a team is involved. Its just a glorified back up, distribution system, if you dont commit your changes are not saved.

Since no one else in this thread obviously has any idea of what they aee doing or suggesting  one has to take matters into their own hands so people actually get to know the truth

Ctrl+Z = undo.  Repeat as many times as required.

Hi,

Thank you for reply.

It doesn't work.

Is there any way to move the whole file back to the previous version?

I got Global Invisible Hand.

Is there any easy way to recover the code from there?
