  10. Click The Green Tick On The Notification Window Letting You Know That Your Settings Were Restored

  11. Open A Project and Check If Your Participants Are Now Appearing - If They Are Not This Means The File You Used To Restore Is Corrupted Or Doesn't Contain The Expected Participant Information

  13. If It is still not working as expected, retry the process by selecting a different File From Step 5

 

Tips:

  • Sometimes it is best to sort your backup files by size as you may have a better chance at restoring more information with the bigger the file is as it indicates it has the most information inside it
