I have a multi-use sheet that only I work on that autosaves and sometimes I use different computers. I made the mistake of leaving it open on two separate computers. On computer one, I created a whole new page and put hours of work into it. Saved and closed. I go to it later on computer two and the sheet is already open on it from a past visit. Before it had updated to show all the work I'd done on computer one, it autosaved with what was on computer two and erased in the cloud all memory of me doing anything. I shut it down and ran back to computer one and it saved over my new work. I realize this is probably written on some Excel ten commandments somewhere, but please is there any way to recover past cloud network file work even after you have saved and exited out? Thank you

Other considerations:
Prevention for future:
Unfortunately, there's no single definitive answer to recovering your lost work. It depends on the specific circumstances and available options. But hopefully, exploring these avenues might offer a chance to retrieve at least some part of your efforts.
