    Sorry to jump in here, Omar Azman!

     

    Can we send you an email, so we can look into this a bit more closely?

    How do you mean 'lost' ? Unless you are a paying user history is only available for 30 days and after that wont show.

        Hey Omar Azman, sorry to jump in, but can you clarify what you mean that the file does not load?

         

        Are you getting a particular error when you try to preview it?  If so, a screenshot would be very helpful!

         

        Also, do you see any actions on this file logged in your events page?
