A document in diScanner is separate from copies saved to Files, Photos, Mail, or another app.

Look for the document

  1. Open Documents. If selection mode is active, tap the selection button again to leave it.
  2. Check filenames, page counts, and dates. Switch between list and grid view if helpful.
  3. Look in Files and any destination where you previously exported the PDF.
  4. If you find an exported PDF, use Documents → + → Import files to bring it back into diScanner.

Deleting a whole document is different from deleting one page or one annotation. Do not rely on page-editing Undo to recover a document removed from the library.

There may be no recoverable copy if the document was deleted and you have no export or suitable backup. Avoid deleting the app as a troubleshooting step when it contains your only copies.

Export important documents to a second location and use recognizable filenames.
