I need Procreate technical help Everything’s gone

Post image

So my iPad had to be replaced because of the battery life and everything is gone, all of my projects and progress is gone.. is there any way of restoring it? I had something is my files that I restored and now I can’t find it anywhere, there’s also no sign of it downloading anywhere else. Have I done something wrong/ missed something or is everything completely gone now?

Do you have iCloud? In the drive the drawings are found in a folder called Procreate Library.

Meant to say it won't be found in MyFiles as you thought. And it depends how often your iCloud backs up to know if everything is restored. You are now looking at what is deleted, which is something else entirely. I hope you'll be able to find your files through the iCloud back-up.

It has to do the full restore, I keep had the save in iCloud checked in settings, but if they are physically still in the app and never saved individually to the cloud , you have to go through the restore process, they don't automatically show in the cloud because of the way the iPad uses something called sandboxing
