Please excuse my frustration... I'm surprised not a single person on planet earth has asked this question before... that or there's just not a clear answer to this problem for Adobe Animate.
STORY:
So I copied a symbol and pasted it onto another frame... I forgot to convert it again to a new symbol so that whatever changes I make will not affect the original symbol. Since I made too many changes on the original symbol its beyond undo.
QUESTION:
So my question is... does Adobe Animate create a folder that has previous autosave version(s) of the file? If so, where do I find it? If its an option that I don't have turned on, where do I find that on the Adobe Animate program?
If this is possible, could you just give me a simple direction like: Windows (C:) > Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Animate CC 2018......
Also, don't mix this up with AUTO-RECOVERY, yes I know those files are located on the same folder as the same file you're working on. Though, I'm not asking about auto-recovery.
Also, also... my File History is turned off... so I don't know if that is 1 solution for this situation.
Thanks,
JD
it might be in the Temp folder (per the below info), if you have auto-recovery enabled. but i think it will be in the folder i indicated, not a subfolder. to test:
open animate and start a test fla. don't save (if that's what you did with the problematic fla). wait your auto-recovery time. open task manager and force animate to quit. reopen animate. if auto-recovery is enabled animate should offer to recover the test fla. note the directory of the test fla and check it for your problematic

i downloaded and recovered a file with the same name (tho i don't think it's the file im looking for, bcs the last modified date was the 21st even tho i edited yesterday) but when i try to open it, animate says there's an error and i can't open it.

maybe you already over-wrote part of it. or try another undelete app. iobit is pretty good.
