# Restore a SharePoint Document to Another SharePoint Site

You can restore SharePoint Online documents to another SharePoint site.

Note

- Cross library restore is not supported. You can copy or move the file after it has been restored in SharePoint Online.

- When restoring a SharePoint Online list item that contains attachments, verify the version history of the list item after the restore operation completes. If the list item was edited multiple times before and after attachments were added, verify that the restored item reflects the expected versions and metadata, such as Modified By and Modified Time.
