    Power outages, system crashes, and other issues may abruptly close files before you are able to save your changes. Enabled by default, Auto Recovery gives you an opportunity to recover that work.

    TipYou can control Auto Recovery settings, in the Options dialog box on the General tab.

    To recover a DWF file

    1. Restart Design Review.
    2. If a Customer Involvement Program dialog box opens prompting you to describe the unexpected close, provide details and click OK.
    3. A message box opens indicating that Auto Recovery is enabled and an open file was saved. Click OK.
    4. Reopen the file that you were working on previously from its original location.

      A dialog box opens indicating that a newer version of the file was saved automatically.

    5. Click the desired option.
      • Click Use Newer Version to open the automatically saved version from the backup files storage location.
      • Click Use Older Version to open the last version of the file you saved from the original storage location.
      • Click Cancel to prevent either version of the file from being opened. The next time you try to open that file you will be prompted again.
