Hi, Ive been working on a project for 5 hours and in my hurry to finish I closed Indesign and when asked if I wanted to save changes I said NO. Now I lost everything I have done until now. Is it possible to recover the last autosave Indesign made?

Any advise would be appreciated I cant believe I just did this to myself.

Thanks in advance!

Once you close the document manually, any Document Recovery state(s) are deleted. It's only when InDesign "unexpectedly quits" or freezes on you (causing your to have to Force Quit) that you get a chance at the Document Recovery file the next time you start up.

Did you work for five hours without saving at all?  I'm so sorry.
