Hello!
I have a problem in Pages. While I was working in the program, I accidentally deleted an important file. Going in ICloud I didn`t see this file in the "Recently deleted". Can I still restore it? Through the settings in ICloud Drive and button "File recovery", this file could not be found. Maybe someone faced this problem?
Thanks!

If you cannot find that important Pages document in iCloud, in your Trash, or elsewhere on your Mac — then it is gone. You might be able to restore that document from a previous Time Machine backup — if you had Time Machine configured and backing up to an external drive. If you weren't using Time Machine, then you have no chance for document recovery unless you previously sent it to someone, and they can send it back to you.
It is equally important to be using regular Time Machine backups — as it is to initially save a Pages document and give it a real (not Untitled.pages) name. Once you do that, Pages will enable autosave and every change to your document will be saved, and you will also have the ability to Revert any mistakes made within your document to a previous editing session.

If you’re using a Mac, have you tried checking in the Trash? Are you able to search for the file — perhaps it was accidentally moved?
How did you delete the file?
Are you saying you did not save it or you saved over your file?
We can not see what you have done or are looking at, nor what version of Pages and macOS you are using.
There is nothing in the Trash. and the file did not move (
I cleared the internal contents of the file, and I really want to know if it is possible to restore it?
Thank a lot for your help!
You are welcome.
