How do you find layers that vanished after working on a project 

[Larry G. Schneider]

Unless you saved the file as a full .ai file you may be out of luck. What was the file format you used to save the file?

[Michael Bullo]

Can you elaborate please...

• Are you trying to find the Layers panel?
• Did you create something but didn't save it?
• etc…
