Undo "Restore to Main"

Hello,

I have accidentally clicked "restore to main" when viewing a previous edit.
Now it seems I have lost all the work since then.

Is there a way to retrieve these edits? 

PS. Seems to me it is very easy to make this mistake. "Restore" could also mean "go back to". Perhaps a warning would be nice?

Thank you!
Klaas van der Molen

    Yes, you should be able to just restore the entry directly below your Restore to Main action:

    @NeilCooke I don't really understand what you mean:

    I have clicked "Restore to Main" from viewing a previous edit (not a version):



    Where I should have clicked "Return to Main"

    but now all the edits after this edit are not visible anymore in my history.
    I only see the restore-action in my history:



    Any way to retrieve these lost edits?

    The difference between the two buttons is huge if all edits are actually gone (when not created versions).

    PS. only for future reference, I have already created a copy and moved on. The screenshot is from the original file.

    Thanks,
    Klaas

    No edits are ever lost - in this instance, right-click "Assembly 1::Drag:instance" and "Restore to Main"
