<title>Find a lost file</title>
-<comment>
- <p>The file could have been saved to a temporary folder, it could have been deleted (check trash), or it could have been hidden. Searching for it may help. Retracing steps in the web browser might help to find a lost temporary file.</p>

+<p>If you created or downloaded a file, but now you can't find it,
+follow these tips.</p>
+
+<list>
+ <item><p>If you don't remember where you saved the file, but you
+ have some idea of how you named it, you can search for the file
+ by name. See <link xref="files-search"/> to learn how.</p></item>
+
+ <item><p>If you just downloaded the file, your web browser might
+ have automatically saved it to a common folder. Check the
+ <file>Desktop</file> and <file>Downloads</file> folders in your
+ home folder.</p></item>
+
+ <item><p>You might have accidentally deleted the file. When you delete
+ a file, it gets moved to the trash, where it stays until you manually
+ empty the trash. See <link xref="files-recover"/> to learn how to
+ recover a deleted file.</p></item>
+
+ <item><p>You might have renamed the file in a way that made the file hidden.
+ Files that start with a <file>.</file> or end with a <file>~</file> are hidden
+ in the file manager. Click <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Show Hidden Files</gui></guiseq>
+ in the file manager. See <link xref="files-hidden"/> to learn more.</p></item>
