I need information from a note which I accidently overtyped a few days ago. Can I retrieve this from the cloud backup?

Notes - version history - does it exist and how do I access it...? I don't even know how it happened, but I deleted a whole long letter I'd been drafting in Notes. Couldn't see an undo button. I logged into the Cloud and the note was there for a whole 2 seconds before it synced and all the text I'd spent hours crafting and editing was gone. I've googled about 'version history' hoping I could go back one update, and some places say yes it can be done, long hold, right-click... but not seeing anything on my phone or desktop that says 'version history' when I do either of these things... Is all lost and sync overwrites rather than updates?

Unlike Apple’s core productivity Apps, the native Notes App does not have versioning. As such, there is no method by which an altered Note might be restored to an earlier point in time.
