Restore phrases

Deleted phrases can be restored from the recycle bin or by restoring from a data backup (local phrase file only).

Partially deleted contents of an individual phrase can be restored by using the version history.

A real time preview shows you the changes for each edit and you can restore any such earlier version.

To restore a earlier version of a phrase:
  1. Open the main program window.
  2. Right-click the phrase you wish to review/restore and select "Restore earlier version":

    The phrase contents field will show a preview of the selected earlier phrase contents.

You can undo/repeat the restoration with the same procedure.

PhraseExpress creates a separate edit history entry for each phrase contents and description change, only. Changes of the other properties (triggers, program or user access restrictions, etc) are not recorded.
