I've started a pretty big project this morning. The problem is, when I went back to working on it, it was gone. Nothing was left of it, almost like it never existed. I tried looking it trough my comptur but nothing worked. Can someone possibly help me ? Is there a way to access my project history via the application ? Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I'm not able to answer your question as I've never had it happen to me.
I'm on my mobile but if you go to File on the menu bar, it should list the recent projects you've worked on.
Failing that,  I use an app called everywhere that searches your system for files with wildcards. If you have a generalised search capability, look for *.yw7
Final thought, has the project been created in your cloud drive for some reason?
Good luck.

open ywriter, click Tools - Debug - view Log file and search for the spot where it's creating the new file (e.g. search for .yw7)

Then open that location manually and see what's there.

If you created the project on removable or cloud storage which is not currently connected, or in a folder belonging to a different windows user, the program won't be able to show the project.
