If something goes wrong with a Dropbox-synced script — bad edits, accidental deletions, a corrupted file — you can roll back to any version from the past 30 days using Dropbox's Version History.

By using Dropbox for cloud sync, you automatically get version-controlled saving. Each time a file is saved, Dropbox keeps a separate restorable version. For most Dropbox accounts, you can recover any edits or deletions made within the last 30 days.

How to restore an earlier version

1. If the file you're restoring is open in Scriptation, close that tab;
2. Go to Dropbox.com in a web browser and sign in to your Dropbox account;

3. Click All files in the left sidebar and navigate to your file;

4. Click the ⋯ next to the file, then click Version History;

5. The active version is labeled "Current version." To roll back, click Restore next to an older version;

6. A confirmation box appears. Click Restore again;

7. You'll see a notification that your file was restored;

8. Back in Scriptation, open the Dropbox file. You'll be prompted with a Cloud Sync notification — tap Yes to pull down the restored version.
