Congrats on your first post in the Community. It's important you're able to retrieve the estimate you were working on.
The quickest way to pull up a recent estimate is searching for it from the Estimate page. To do this, click on the Plus icon (+) > Estimate > from the Estimate page, click on the clock icon on the top left corner. I'll attach and image below for reference:
From here, you'll be able to view the recent estimates. I recommend you give this a try and let me know how you make out.
If you can't find the estimate, you can always check the audit log. QuickBooks Online keeps a list of all the activity in your company. You can see the changes made to your books and who made them using the audit log. It also tracks user login/logout activity, changes to settings, customers, suppliers, and employees.
Here are the steps on how to access the audit log:
Go to Settings ⚙ and select Audit Log.
Select Filter.
Use the fields on the Filter panel to choose the appropriate User, Date, or Events filter to narrow the results.
