I thought that incremental versions of a file were saved, but is that true?

Question

I deleted a text box by mistake (a huge one-chapter text box) and also made many fruitfull updates to my InDesign CC 2017 file. Is there a way to go back to some incrementally saved 'version' of the file? I want to open it and copy the text box data and paste it back where it belongs.

If not, I do have a share of the file that I sent to a workmate, can I open and copy from that just as well?

Hi,Currently InDesign does not save "incremental" versions of the file. You can however add this as a feature request at Adobe InDesign: Feature Requests (429 ideas) – Adobe InDesign Feedback For second part, yes you can copy paste that text frame from one InDesign file to another provided they are opened in the same version(CC 2017 in your case). Be careful for styles with same name that get mapped when you do this. For example: if in the share file the text frame has a style P applied with blue color and in the new file the style P has red color, then the text frame when copied and pasted will have style P applied with red color.-Aman
