you might be able to look at the TIMELINE section

I've looked at it, i only have modifications till 31/03

[bpasero]

Do you have steps that reproduce the issue, otherwise I am not sure what we can do here?

[yjeddoub]

I usually work on my file with the 'Auto save' option enabled, which has been active for quite some time. I've been working without saving for over 2 weeks now. I close the window normally and find all the modifications I've made. Last Friday, I accidentally opened VS Code, I didn't even want to work on it, and when I tried to close it, for the first time, it asked me if I wanted to save the modifications, even though I hadn't made any. Thinking that I might have accidentally typed something, I clicked on 'Don't save.' However, when I reopened the file after an hour, I realized that only a very old version of the file was available (the version from 03/31).

[RedCMD]

that's not good there is a history folder that saves the timeline in the vscode files but I assume it's already been purged

you could try the Windows File Recovery app but I doubt there's anything left for it to pickup

[bpasero]

I am sorry that you lost file changes but without some clear steps how to reproduce to understand how this happened, I will have to close this issue. It sounds to me that auto save turned off for some reason and you did not notice?
