# Restore a Previous Version of a Dashboard

CRM Analytics uses version history to back up dashboard versions when you edit them so you can restore a previous version.

Here’s how to restore a previous version of a dashboard.

1. Click the ![Dashboard ... icon at upper right](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_dashboard_dotdotdot.png) button at upper right.
    
    ![Click the ... icon at upper right to view a dashboard's history](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_dashboard_version_history.png)
2. Select the **Version** tab to see a list of previous versions of the dashboard.

3. Click the links (**Change 1**, **Change 2**, and so on) to view previous versions. The text under the links provides a brief description of the version if one was added to the **Version History** field the last time someone saved the dashboard.
4. When you see the one you want to restore, click the disk icon and then click **Save**. It’s a good idea to enter a brief description of what’s unique about this version in the **Version History** field for future reference.

Warning When you restore a previous version, the dashboard doesn’t run as expected if it depends on a dashboard, dataset, or lens that’s been deleted. If you get an error when you load a restored version of a dashboard, try restoring older versions until you get one that works. You can use that one as a starting point to rebuild the dashboard with errors.
