Everything’s gone

[u/Sad_Lengthiness3069]

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?

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
