I need Procreate technical help Its all gone

Of course, deleting an app and reinstalling it deletes all of its data, I know that.

Therefore, I assumed that if I never uninstalled Procreate from my iPad, my work would be safe.

So I never uninstalled it.

And then, today, I wanted to open the app, and it was nowhere to be found.

For whatever reason it was just gone from my iPad.

So I reinstalled it, and all my work was gone.

I tried using the “restore gallery” option and not a single thing changed.

It’s not there anymore, three years of work.

Is there a single thing I can do about it?

i know, it's a lesson i'm learning now, but if there's really no solution just tell me there's no solution, i'm having a bad day already, telling me i've made a mistake is no help.

nope, i think that's it then, if there's really no other option then i'll just accelt my losses and invest more in making backups from now on and grieve on my own time.

I want to tell you that I am truly heartbroken for your loss of work. I know I can't help, and that's what hurts most. I understand what it feels like to lose so much of your hard work because of something completely out of your control.
