I tried to save my InDesign file to my onedrive and when a copied it from my laptop into the onedrive folder, the file reverted to the version last saved there which was 24hrs before and many changes had been made and saved since. It comes at as last modified yesterday even though I just saved it. The version saved to my laptop should not have been effected but it has also switched to this earlier version. Although when I open InDesign, the preview of the file appears as the most recent version (circled in the screenshot) but when I open it, it's the one from yesterday. Is there any way I can get the most recently saved version back?

Copied? You should have a local OneDrive folder and you should be working directly from that not copying in and out of it. Have you gone to the online OneDrive folder and checked for versions? OneDrive, like Dropbox keeps all versions of the file and you can even retrieve one that's been deleted.

It could be some issue with OneDrive. I use Dropbox and don't think I've ever experienced what you have. Dropbox has a versioning feature which allows you to return to previous versions.

 

Sadly, I don't have a solution for retrieving what may have been lost.
