I've been working on an animation on a school computer when I tried opening another adobe animate file on top of the file I was currently working on. The file I opened closed out of my work and I've lost almost all of it. The only file I saved to my desktop was the work I did yesterday. It seems like I lost all the work I've done today. The thing that confused me is I have auto save on and it autosaved multiple times well I was working. I'm on a school computer so I have limited accsess to files. I really don't want to have to re-do 2 hours of animation. I'm new to adobe animate I've been looking to see if theres a way to access auto saved items somehow. Please help!

    for win users, open C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\<animate version>\en_US\Configuration\AutoRecoverFilenames.txt and see if there was a saved file and, if so, check the folder location listed

     

    for mac users, check the folder (for a file with name recover_) where the fla was saved. if the fla wasn't saved, i think you're out of luck, but you can still search your computer for "recover_"
