Question

Illustrator crashed and I lost a Creative Cloud Library Element

Illustrator crashed and recovered my file, but it seems to have recovered a corrupt version, which I unfortunately (and stupidly) already saved over the file I had from the last time I had saved.

 

Now the logo I created and saved in my creative cloud library is gone. Is there any way I can get it back or am I screwed by Illustrator crashing!? 

 

There is no version history because the AI file was saved on my desktop. The logo was saved in the cloud, though, but I can't get it to open. 

 

If I click right click-edit on the link, nothing happens. I can't export it.

Correction, I could export, but only as a .cclibs, whatever that is. My mac can't find any way to open it.
