Overwritten file on Keynote

I was preparing a presentation on Keynote and saved the newer version (12MB). I didn't realise I had the old version (10MB) saved in another place. I came back later in the week to open up the old version (10MB) to then overwrite the new version I made earlier in the week. So I lost my work and might need to re-do, but don't want to do this if I can help it.

I have tried to use File>Revert to>Browse all versions. This didn't work as only go as far as yesterday, but need the file from Tuesday from when I saved it.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

I don't understand your workflow, can you detail it in chronological order so we can understand what you have done.

Do you still have two files?
Have you deleted either of the files?
Have you used Revert on both files?
Have you tried restoring from your backup?
Checked the Trash?
