This applies equally to iOS and iPadOS, is there any solution to recover an older version of a file? Whether you yourself accidentally deleted a sheet in a Numbers file or whether a file won’t open or a Pages document lost any embedded images.
The only solution I am aware of is to sync files to another location that maintains different versions of files. Be that something like Dropbox itself or more generally anything that syncs files to a Mac, which then can backup files to a versioning backup like Time Machine.
Of course, I can restore a complete device backup. But that requires that I first save every file that changed since that device backup was made somewhere else and then painstakingly add all those changed files back to my restored device.
