      Got one text file overwritten by mistake. Is there any way to roll back or recover the text files?

        Ctrl+Z or you may check the backup, if enabled at settings->preferences…->backup.

          Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work as I forgot to make the settings.

            Ctrl +Z can only function as undo or return on computer , can not be used to recover text files , Check your backup file or recycle bin.
