Need to be able to recover a version of a file from a specific date

Need a way to get a version of a file from a specific date. I can see version history, but I don't want to scroll through hundreds of versions to get to the one I want...

restore

    Hi there Sam B.36 - thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this with us.

    I've  logged your feedback about restoring previous versions of files from specific past dates in our system and you can let us know if you have anything else to add.

    Cheers!

    I should have said, I would like to see versions of files changed on or before a specific date, since it might be a rough date

    Doesn't help, it allows me to pick a date and shows all the events on that date, but when I click on a file link, it just downloads the latest version
