1] Ensure the project is intact
It is the very first thing you need to do. If the project is removed or moved from OneDrive, you cannot expect it to be updated. However, if you want to save a new project, this solution might not be for you.
On the other hand, it is suggested to check if the project file is available in OneDrive. If it is deleted by mistake, you can head to the Recycle Bin and restore it.
To restore deleted OneDrive files, you can simply open the Recycle Bin, find the corresponding file, select it, and click on the Restore button.
2] Set up Clipchamp and OneDrive link
Since Clipchamp recently introduced this functionality, it must be set up manually. If you missed the setup wizard earlier, you can close Clipchamp and re-open it.
When you open the Clipchamp app, you can find a window like this:
Click the Continue button. Then, ensure that the OneDrive location is correctly selected. If not, you can click on the Choose a different folder option to select another folder or create a new one for this purpose.
Once done, click the Continue button.
Now, you are all set.
