Hi @kavisa5E24 , I'd say there are two possibilities: Either the link you're seeing doesn't belong to the file you're viewing (I'm guessing this is not very likely) or the file has been updated and the link hasn't. Thinking what I'd do, I think first I'd save a copy of the file, and then undo a few steps to see if the artboards are accidentally deleted. Hopefully you're going to recover those artboards that way, and if the file is local, you might also want to check if there are any cloud versions to recover from. Other than that, I don't know any way of recovering a file using its preview link. Let's see if any other experts have any other ideas, hope this helps!
