I managed to overwrite the copy of my file that had 12 pages of images placed. When I go into Time Machine all I get is the same blank template-created page. I know which file should work but when I restore and open, still blank. Is there a trick, I hope?

Depends on timing. TM backs ups every hour. Even if you saved the file successfully before, if the one you wnat to go back to is after the last time TM did an incremental, it doesn't know about it.

I don't use that. I use Dropbox and OneDrive which each make a copy of the versions as they're saved. You can roll back to any of them.

Is that because Time Machine doesn't work for InDesign, or just your personal preference? I'll look into that later, after i finish recreating the file
