I tried to replace my form with other form but is now corrupted and can't see the existing data

I have a kobo collect data collection form that was functional having more than 200 data. I was trying to replace the form with updated version and it corrupts the column name. Now i am not seeing the form and unable to edit. It says the sheet is empty or no column headers. I couldn’t revert the form to its original version. The deployed version is still the old one and the data collectors are still submitting data but i couldn’t see and edit. The columns on the data tab are fewer and when i download it has nothing. How can i fix it? Please it’s urgent!

If you have the last working version of the xls form, you should upload it and then deploy it. I would first try that.

I already upload the last working version, that’s when the column headers disappeared and began saying ‘The survey sheet is either empty or missing important column headers.’ when i try to preview the form. I am afraid to deploy again for the data collectors are in a place with no connectivity and might corrupt the whole data collection. Any other way?
