Unable to locate original design file; can I pull from Published review?

I created a manual in InDesign using my previous work computer, which I no longer have access to. I shared it for review at the time. I have since switched to a new work computer, and the original design file did not copy to the new computer. Now I need to make a slight update to the manual.

 

I can see the published design for review in my "Your files > Published" tab. Is there any way to save or export this so that I can make needed updates, or am I SOL without the original design file?

Hi @ethansomebody:

 

Unfortunately, no. Hopefully, you have a back up of the InDesign file. If not, it's a good time to remind you to always keep the backups of all files on a separate drive.
