Hi all,
I just closed an auto-recovery pbix file from a project. I closed the file without saving because I thought I saved the file myself. Unfortuantely this wat not the case...
I think I just lost a day of work...
Is there anyway to recover my not saved auto recovery file?
Thank you in advance!!

Can Power bi provide auto save of work done. It is fraustrating to be loosing work already done due to circumstances. I applied the power query work of long time load but my computer re-started after the load and I lost the work.

On my device they're saved here: C:\Users\[username]\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop Store App\AutoRecovery
You can find where it is on any device by going to the 'Save and Recover' options page - see screenshot.
