Asnwer to an earlier message about retrieving a previously saved document, was:

You can use (Time Machine) to go back in time
and retrieve the file.

What is Time machine and how is it enabled?

If you don't know about it, then you probably have not enabled it and so
it probably is not available to you to get the old version of a file.

Time Machine is an application provided by the Mac operating system (Not
part of Office) that makes backup to an attached hard disk. You can
find it in Finder, Applications Folder. You have to have an external
hard disk (or one of the Apple products that connect via wireless ... I
forget what they are called). With that, you start it up and let it run.
