Will my drawings be safe in Procreate for 2 months after losing family share access?

I’m an artist and use procreate. The app was bought by my sister and shared to me through the family share. She left the family and won’t be able to rejoin for 2 months because she met her leaving and rejoining limits for the year. I’ve lost access to procreate in the past because of this but only for a bout a day and when I got it back my art was safe but this is 2 months. I’m worried that my tablet will try to wipe 4 years of work! Will it be safe as long as I leave it be? Any advise? I’m super stressed about this

I wouldn’t expect the two-month period itself to erase your Procreate drawings. Losing Family Sharing access affects your license to use the app; it shouldn’t automatically delete the app’s data from your iPad.

The important part is: don’t delete Procreate, erase the iPad, or make other major changes while you’re locked out.

With four years of work involved, I’d also make a current iCloud or computer backup of the iPad now, before doing anything else. That gives you another layer of protection while you wait to regain access.
