SlimeCounty Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hi there. New to iOS, new to AD. I had set up AD to default to iCloud for saves. Today I saved a project, closed the document, and went back later and it's not there. I can't seem to find it in any of the directories available from the open/import menus. It's there a temporary storage folder I can look through on the iPad? I saved using the document menu from within AD while my project was open, then I closed the document from the gallery. Any help on recovering this project is obviously greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 The Document menu offers the option to Save a Copy, creating a afdesign file in the location of your choosing. You need to tap 'Add' to complete the save. Keep in mind that the file you have open is not the copy you just made. If you back arrow out to Project screen you will see your original file in the Gallery. You can close this file and this deletes it from sandbox area. Now tap + sign and choose Open from Cloud. Navigate to the location you previously chose to save a copy and select your file to open it. You now have a new option in Document menu called Save. If you used Open from Cloud, edits will be saved back to the afdesign file. If you imported the file then you are back working on a sandbox copy which will be deleted when you Close the file in Gallery. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
