3. You will be prompted: “A recover file has been found. Do you wish to override the current file with the recovered one?”
4. Click “Yes”.
5. Excel will open and the content will match what was in Excel in before the simulated "crash". The Section will also update in LMS.
6. Close Excel and then save and close the LMS document.
