Pages documents disappeared

Last night I could access all of my pages documents. This morning they disappeared! icloud drive is on, and pages has the icloud setting on. Where did all my documents go and how do I get them back? I tried downloading icloud for PC, signing into icloud online, and still the documents are missing. The documents are gone on my iPhone and iPad.

I did not expect that i would lose all my Pages docs on my iPad 2 air after purchasing a new iMac. I could not believe that they all my important docs disappeared from just

buying a new Mac. I didn't even instruct the Mac to take control of my iPad and delete my files. So feeling angry doesn't even come close to how I feel but I believe the problem is iCloud. It demands you join up each time and wants to take control but I do not trust the cloud. So, the million dollar question, can I retrieve my lost files?

I don't know a fix ... but I wanted to join in the cadre of frustrated iPad owners who are inexplicably losing files. In my case (so far), I've witnessed my gmail files blinking out of existence: I have opened up a Mailbox (e.g., Tax Stuff) and seen the list of files stored there ... for about 1 or 2 seconds ... then those file names just disappear ... and the "No Mail" notice is all that's left. WHERE DID MY FILES GO?? HOW CAN I GET THEM BACK?? These are critically important files that I really NEED!
