How do I access Procreate backup files?

I want to access an iCloud backup for my iPad. I want to recover procreate files (which I do have selected to be backed up), but I don't see a way to access the backup on the iPad, or in the browser iCloud. I don't own an apple computer.

I know that I have a backup, and I know it includes my Procreate files. I have no idea how to access those files however. There is no option for Procreate in the apps section of iCloud.com, and the files are not in the drive.

I see that iCloud backup is one of the files listed on iCloud.com but it doesn't give me any way to access it!

iPad, iPadOS 17

If you have procreate selected under iCloud in your settings, your data is synced to iCloud and. can be recovered by logging in again.

If you do not have it selected in iCloud your data should backup as part of your normal device backup. You can restore by factory resetting your device and setting it up using the backup

Your data is stored in iCloud automatically. If you delete the data, it also deletes from iCloud. If you add data, it syncs to iCloud. There isn't a backup per se to recover, just the data that you synced which will display when you log into your account.
