Restore a deleted style from old file

In our team we have a separate file for all text styles and variables.

We made some additions to the file and need to publish new variables, but now we realize that 3 text styles were removed by mistake 2 months ago.

Right now we have to uncheck all the removed styles when publishing, in order to not lose them in our working files.

Restoring to the 2 months file version of course will give us back the 3 removed styles, but we will lose all the work done since then.

Is there any way to restore these 3 text styles, while still having the current file version?

    Because you can cut the style [right click, cut] and then paste it into a folder in the new file.

    Restoring the file from 2 months ago will create a duplicate file. It won’t override the current file you are working in. So go ahead and restore it. It will create a [copy] in your dashboard.

    Thanks for your reply. How this would help bringing back the 3 deleted text styles to my latest version?
