NUMBERS didn't save my work - why?

Hi, I updated a Numbers spreadsheet yesterday and hit save before closing it (although I'm pretty sure this step isn't necessary) and when I returned to the spreadsheet 30 minutes later the changes had disappeared. Luckily I hadn't made too many changes on this occasion, but this could be devastating and now I don't trust NUMBERS. Has anyone else had this problem?

Maybe it was offline and couldn't save to iCloud? Why has this happened & how can I recover my changes (if possible)?

I'm using an iMac (late 2015) running Big Sur 11.7 and saving Numbers to iCloud. I have logged in to iCloud and the spreadsheet is also lacking the changes there.

Please help.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 11.7

Using NUMBERS v12.1 by the way. Also I went into Time Machine and there is a whole period from 30th November to 8th Jan where Numbers didn't save any new versions, even though I made changes during that time. It is worse than I thought! What it saved since 8th Jan is the same as 30th November, so I've lost all my changes.

It may be time to update your hardware and software.

Numbers save reliably on my MBP running Numbers 12.2.1 under macOS Ventura 13.1.
