Checking Out Historical Versions of Files

You can easily check out a previous revision of a file using the History pane. You will have a choice whether to check out the file to the current working folder, which would overwrite the current file, or to check out to a different location.

To check out a previous revision of a file, do the following:

Choose File > Check Out or File > Check Out All to open the Check Out dialog box.
Click the History tab or the Label tab in the lower pane, and select the revision to check out.
Right-click the selected file and choose Check Out or Check Out To.
This opens the Check Out dialog box.
Use the Check Out dialog box to check out the file as described in the procedure for checking out files.
