Keep in mind that if you can’t get your documents back, you might be able to use a data recovery program like Acronis Revive or a file or system backup to get them back (at least in a workably recent state). We rely a lot on autosaves, but if we don’t manually save our work, we can lose a lot of progress and the whole history of a document.
People sometimes forget to save their documents, so they don’t have the ones they had. Often, it is done to free up space on your Mac. In this way, you delete a lot of old files without realizing that one of them was important. This isn’t as bad as it sounds. The record can always be found in the Trash. To get those files back, you need to do this:
1. It’s in the Dock. To open it, click the Trash can icon.
2. Soon, you will be able to see all of the things that you have deleted from the site. Then, look for your file. if you click on a record and then press Space Bar, you might be able to see a small picture of it first.
3. After you find your document, right-click on it and choose Put Back. When you do this, the record will be put back in the folder where it was originally saved. You can keep working with it.
4. Then, your file would appear in the Downloads. Now, you can open it normally.
You can change how often Microsoft Word saves your documents. Take a look at the options in File > Options > Save and change the number of minutes it saves. This will make sure you have copies of all your Word documents that can be restored in the future.
