is there a way to restore a prior version of a sharepoint list? I have versioning switched on and able to restore items individually, but I am looking to restore hundreds of records. Is there a way to revert to a prior list, just like how you can restore a prior file, as of the last backed up version?? Or is there a way to restore multiple items at a time? I can’t seem to find an answer through googling. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Using the version history of a list, you can only see the changes done on a particular item during its lifetime.
There is no option to restore the entire list or a particular item using the version history
What you can do is, using a power automate or console application you can get the version history of a particular item using Rest API and update the same item using the Rest API or Update item in power automate.
Using this logic you can restore the entire list.

Thank you for the response and suggestion! I will definitely make note of this for next time. I had to try to restore everything before users noticed the incorrect data, so I did it the ugly way. I literally went into each and every record to revert each item back to the prior one in the version history. There were 700 records! I kept thinking there’s gotta be a better way.. but I couldn’t find anything through my research.. Aug 23, 2022 at 4:36
