Saved keynote files are gone

My saved keynote files are gone. Are there any ways to recover or anyone knows how to find them?

Keynote will remember the previous save folder until you change it. Spotlight may be helpful in locating these presentations if they remain on your startup or iCloud drive. If they were saved to third-party cloud services, or an unmounted storage device, then Spotlight probably won't find them.


Open a Finder window, and on its View menu, select Show Path Bar. In its search field, enter the following:


kind:key created:>01/01/2022


which says show any Keynote document created after Jan 1, 2022. If you get any results, click once on it and a path to the file will appear at the bottom of the Finder window. If there is a Path Bar result, you can double-click on the folder just before the filename and it will open that folder.
