 If the "disappearance" was caused by a cloud app:
 * Shut down Wordfast Pro.
-* Try to restore the most recent backed-up version of your project using the corresponding function of your cloud backup app. Most commonly, these apps will delete or damage the "project.wf4" file. Restoring this file should be sufficient. If this file is missing but the "project.wf4.sfc" file is present, make a copy of it and rename the copy to "project.wf4". If this doesn't help, the project cannot be recovered.
