How do I restore lost Pages docs?

Restore deleted files

You can restore files you deleted from iCloud Drive in the last 30 days, whether you deleted them on iCloud.com, your iOS device, your Mac, or your Windows computer.

Go to Settings on iCloud.com, then click Restore Files (in the Advanced section).

Select each file you want to restore, or select Select All.

If a file was in a folder when you deleted it, the folder location is shown below the filename.

The list of deleted files may contain more files than can be shown at once. Scroll to see more.Click Restore.

Look for your restored files in the folders they were in when you deleted them. For example, if a file was in the Pages folder when you deleted it, look for the restored file in the Pages folder.

If you have a Time Machine backup, and in System Preferences : iCloud : iCloud Drive : Options… : Pages is selected, and you are signed into iCloud — then there is an opportunity to restore your iCloud Drive : Pages folder from your Time Machine backup.

1. Launchpad : Other : Time Machine

   Change directory in the Restore window

   1. Home directory : Library : Mobile Documents
   2. Locate the Pages folder that has your lost content in it
   3. Restore
   4. Cancel
2. Switch to iCloud Drive : Pages folder. Your files should be back.

Thanks, Viking — this is good to know.
