Can't see things outside of the artboard on Illustrator

So last night I got a file template that was a pdf for a project. I proceeded to do work within that PDF in Illustrator and ended the day by saving it into the sent file (So it was saved as a PDF). When trying to open it today, the file previews as all the work I did on the home page, but when opened, it only shows everything on the artboard, not all the work I did on the side of the artboard. Can anyone please help so I can see all the stuff outside the artboard?

If the file was saved without Illustrator editing on, those additions are lost to Illustrator.

So even though it was saved on Illustrator as a PDF file it is completely lost? Then why does it preview correctly on the illustrator home page correctly?
