If you are in a Pages document, whether you have manually saved it once (enabling autosave), or have not, and you delete content, then without exiting Pages, you can press cmd+Z to undo the delete action and recover the deleted content.


If you had manually saved the document once and deleted either its content, or the document, then as long as you have a Time Machine backup to an external drive, and the file existed during the backup process, then you have the means to recover that Pages document either in whole or in part from the backup.


If you had not manually saved the Pages document, deleted content, and quit Pages, then all of that document content is permanently lost.
