Can I recover offline edits in Pages?

It appears my Mac is too old for current collaborate software, and edits I had made to a novel (dozens of pages) have not synced with the iCloud. It was saved manually to my desktop every few minutes and even opened at the new version many times. However this morning the document only opens at the last collaborated version. Have I lost all my data?!

Hey thanks Fodeo. Yes, I have tried this. There seems to be a dysfunction between the manually saved file and its ability to keep syncing to the iCloud. When created, it collaborated fine. But recent software updates have interrupted the sync. I renamed and separated the file to my desktop and it seemed to be saving fine - but has reverted this morning, seeming to forget all the other recent saves (at least not listing them in Recent). Do you know of any way to recover this or do I have to go back to the 12 month old version :-(
