Hello mtantos,


Thanks for the additional information. When you find the board, see if you are to use the "Back <" button to find a previous version.

Search in Freeform on Mac - Apple Support

Find and replace text in a specific board
1. In the Freeform app  on your Mac, click a category in the sidebar, then double-click a board to open it.
2. If you don’t see the sidebar, choose View > Show Sidebar.
3. Click anywhere in the board’s canvas, choose Edit > Find > Find (or press Command-F), then type text in the search field.
4. Text in shapes, sticky notes, and text boxes that matches your search criteria is shown.
5. Do one of the following:
Go to the next or previous instance in the results: Click the arrow buttons located at the top of the window.

If you are no longer able to do so, then you'll need to recreate your board.


In the future, you can make a copy of an important board, as shown here:

Create a copy of a board
1. In the Freeform app  on your Mac, click a category in the sidebar, then select a board.

Note: If you duplicate a shared board, the copy isn’t shared.

Take care!
