Update: I got it back. It was a browser caching issue and as soon as I posted this I solved it. Woof. 

I was working in this file 6 hours ago and the version history shows an autosave then. I came back just now to make some changes and the entire draft is blank and so are all of the versions. I’ve worked in this file over the last three days and the list says that there are 14 autosave versions, but all of them are empty. 

This is a student project that is due on Monday and I have lost everything. I used the chat bot and tried everything it suggested (restoring to a previous version, restoring from the file manager, opening the file in thumbnail mode, checked the trash, etc.) and nothing has worked. Help please! 

I’m using the browser version in Firefox and I’m on a Mac, if that is helpful. The file lives in a project that only I have access to, so it is not possible that someone else moved it.
