I have also had this problem, this year was the first time ever in 29 years w/ computers. Was working w/ someone else in a rush working from home w/ out her office equipment.
You are not alone! Can you look through all the other places where you might have saved an earlier version? I now save documents and other important files in a variety of places going along. Documents folder, desktop, specifically named folder for that type of file, project folder etc. Messy but necessary for the way I work. You can also set up a backup to an external hard drive/ rocket stick or dongle etc so as to save elsewhere than your computer incase of hard drive problems. Every time I save a document it gets a slightly different name. As an example... name, date, v 1,2 etc. V being version for that date. Messy but reliable. You may have a slightly earlier version somewhere which would avoid you having to redo everything. Can you do a general search w/ slightly different names? You can also email versions to yourself. You will then have the file in your email as sent & received mail boxes. Do this at the end of the day. Good luck! We have all been there & it is a hard learned lesson. Everyone has this story too so don’t feel to bad just deal with it for the future.
