Recovering Form after overwriting it using xForm

Users

Hi Everyone,
I wrote a form using the form builder, but then inadvertently overwrote it
using xForm.
Is there any way to recover the original form or an earlier version of it?

Thanks,
Paul

In the "Deploy" section, you can press the "Revert" button to go back to a given
version.

I wonder is there a way to access the different versions ? Developers, do you store
every diff the way git does ?

Hi Charles,
Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, this form had never been
deployed. Is there a way to revert the form itself to an earlier version?
Thanks again!
Paul

Does anyone have a phone number for Commcare IT support?
I received some feedback that the survey may be archived on their server
and could be restored.
Thanks!

Hey Paul,

The best way to get support is using the "report an issue" button. However,
I can confirm that we are not able to recover the form if you never
deployed the app.

Sorry about that.

Okay, that's unfortunate. Seems like there should be a warning about using
xForms once a form has already been written.
Thanks for the response.
