      You can try the following approach:
      Open File Explorer and enter %temp% in the command line and then search for file type *agdb. You should see several files with names like:
      XXXX.agdb-0
      XXXX.agdb-1
      XXXX.agdb-2
      XXXX.agdb-3
      The DesignModeler Auto-save feature creates these files. You can review these files to determine the latest saved version.
