Lost my layers within my timeline

Hi There, I'm very very new to Animate. I've managed to make a neat and simple animation, I published the animation and just before I saved I must have clicked or pushed something and I can't see my layers within my timeline anymore. They're all gone and when I press 'play' nothing happens....

Is there anyway to get this back?

Sounds like you were inside a symbol instance (Edit Symbol). Double clicking outside of the symbol art when inside a symbol's timeline will bring you back to the parent timeline. This is a very very cool feature of Animate CC - every symbol has it's own timeline. It's like subsequences in Premiere Pro.

How about trying to change the workspace

windows>click any workspace that you didn't use yet. It should restart everything, but you have to change it to fit your stile again

going to post this in case someone is here and overlooked the very obvious like i did: try clicking the "View all layers" icon right below the word Timeline, it looks like a stack of layers - dah

Go to windows>timeline turn it off and turn it on again. Does it fix the problem?
