Player Character Sheets Switched to NPC

Hi there  I am currently running a Pathfinder first edition game through Roll20 and I have found that upon logging on today my Players Character sheets have all been set to be NPCs something that I have not been able to reverse without completely re-entering all of the data from that characters and this majorly disrupted our game. I can only guess at how this happened as I set the default character sheet to NPC at one point while attempting to deal with a secondary issue that I am having with this game.  More over I am concerned that I do not know how to revese it as it would take quite a bit of effort on my part to do so as I do not have all the data from the players Characters.  My set up is as follows :  Browser: Google Chrome  Version 80.0.3987.87 (Official Build) (64-bit) Addons: Add blocker, Google Docs, Indeed for chrome, Popup blocker for chrome Operating system:  Windows 10 Home Version 1903  If you could get back to me on this matter ASAP I would appriciate it  Thanks

If you're talking about the 2E sheet, no data should be lost, you should be able to just switch back to the PC view. I'm pretty sure the 1E sheet works in a similar way.

Unfortunately, the Pathfinder 1E sheet is set up to delete all info when you swap from one to the other.  It actually warns about that in the button you click to convert them, so I tested it.  It does erase/reset everything but the name. Cameron, you will probably have to email Roll20 and see if you can get a rollback to save those sheets, or get people to import a new one if they have a backup in their character vault.  A mod may be along to help you from here also, but I expect this will require some sort of back end intervention.  Setting the default sheet to npc shouldn't change any previously made sheets though.  It isn't uncommon for people to do that after the PCs have been created.

Yeah that's what confused me to be honest, I didn't think it would but roll20 works in mysterious ways.  Thanks for the advice 
Hey Cameron, Could you link me to the game and tell me when you last remember seeing the sheets?
