Unfortunately there is no way to get back an older version of a report that was published to the server, we only keep the latest one. Do you have a copy of it on disk somewhere?

I've had this same thought as well.

There is an idea to improve this.

I had the same problem. Open one drive, search the document, click on the three dots right to the name, open version history, there you can find the version of the desktop file. I was able to achieve inside one drive, web version, not the folder of one drive in your computer files. This solution only applies if you have OneDrive.
