I made an animation, and i was really proud of it since i just got adobe animate. I went to save it by clicking "save" in the file menu, and thought all was well and closed the app. I decided to reopen to check if it saved, and i couldnt find it. not even in my files, there was just nothing. However, i did look in the preferences after, and auto-recover was on, but i set it to 9 minutes insted of 10 and i think thatt messed everything up. can someone please help me get my animation back?

Nice work, mate!

Well done! 🙂

Just to avoid data loss in the future, as you work on your files, do incremental saves (Save As...) every couple of hours adding _01, _02, _03 and so on to your filename. Also make backups.

ok my dad said that on old computers you would need to click "save as" before you click "save" and i think that was the problem, but its ok i can just remake the thingy and it will be better than before! 🙂
