### Project Name (if applicable, otherwise just type n/a)

Prevalence of antenatal depression

### Question

I recently made some edits to the form in this project (e.g., renaming or removing some questions). After these changes, I noticed that some of the older data entries are no longer visible under the “Entries” tab, and I am unable to find a “Form Versions” option on the project dashboard.

Could you please help me:

1. Confirm whether the older data is still stored on your servers?
2. Guide me on how I can retrieve or export the missing entries?
3. Let me know if form edits might have caused any irreversible changes to stored data?
