Hello, kindly need help. I think I accidentally flattened my work, saved it, and closed the file. On reopening, I don't have my layers, is there any way I can recover my layers please?

 If you are running MacOS, turn on Time Machine. It will

hold a few days of work on the Main drive as well as the Backup drive

Try turning on Time Machine and see if it's holding the earlier layered version of your file.

System Preferences > Time Machine   Add its icon to the top menu bar:

Open the folder your file was in, Choose "Enter Time Machine" and look at the time scale to your right.

Go back until you see the layered file.

So you were able to recover the file with the layers? If this information helped you, mark it correct so others with the same problem will know.
