# Will rolling back a batch overwrite anything I've saved since?

No. Rolling back never writes over your data. Before it starts, the confirmation lists anything that would be skipped — *"These will be skipped to avoid overwriting anything"* — and during the roll back, any item whose original spot now holds something new is left on the fast drive and reported.

Everything else in the batch goes back normally. You can deal with the skipped items yourself afterwards, once you've decided which copy to keep.
