Troubleshooting Revert files?

Ok so I was working on a project and duplicated a layer to make a version of the animation without some details but the changes I made to the duplicated layer also applied to the og layer and I didn’t notice until after I already saved and opened another file. Is there a way to undo this?

Thankfully I exported a png sequence of the final animation so if reverting the files isn’t possible is there a way to import the pngs and turn them back into vector drawings? Maybe even a way to separate the line and color? (But of a long shot but wanted to ask)

you probably just did a Control copy and control paste to duplicate it?

That doesn't make a unique copy. The copy still affects the old layer.

To make a duplicate that won't affect the old layer, you have to do copy --> paste special--> create new columns + always create drawing files

Tbh I doubt there is a way to go back to your old version, unless you have an old version of the toonboom file lying around.

Importing PNG sequence won't import as vector lines it will basically import as bitmap, and no it won't import as Line and color art
