Hi community :)
I tried to re-enable my freeform-icloud synchronisation and enabled it on my ipad. Unfortunatly this deleted all of my boards and i don't know how to get them back, which is super frustrating, as i've put so many hours in to creating them for my studies. the "recents" folder is also empty. Does anyone know what to do?
I've got my hopes high, that someone know's the trick to save the data that seems to be lost.
Many thanks xx

, then tap Recently Deleted.Deleted boards remain in Recently Deleted for 30 days.

Hi Matthew
Thank you for reaching out and trying to help.
Unfortunately, what you’re advising me to do, is what i described in my post: that recent folder is empty. Completely empty!
And no i didn’t share it with anyone as that was the core problem, that’s the reason why i disabled the icloud synchronisation (advice from multiple people in apple forums) so i would be able to share it with my computer and also with other people.
We appreciate you reaching back out E-Maiky.
It does sound like reaching out to Apple Support so they can look into this with you is going to be the next best step.
Take care!
