Good evening, All!
I accidentally deleted a watch face that I was about to publish-- total amateur move. It is still on the watch I am wearing, so is there a way to transfer it back to my account?
Really appreciate any advice or harsh criticism for the irresponsible use of my fingers.

Good morning, sorry, I cant advice anything other than maybe to make a screenshot so you can use it as temporary background for proportions, on which you can rebuild the face anew from scratch using your original resources (I suppose those you did not delete by another accident too).
Another advice repeated on this forum often because of automatic takedowns in supposed copyright infringement cases is, to always make duplicate before you publish any face. There was case where even mistyped word in description could disqualify it.
You will be surprised how quickly you can rebuild a Face . Sometimes faces pick up bugs and you have to rebuild them any way . You are not alone .
DUPLICATION THEN PUBLICATION .
You could ask Facer to undelete it . I remember one Update all my deleted faces came back forca short while . But they are so busy with other stuff .
I fully support DUPLICATION BEFORE PUBLICATION. But if it’s on the watch is it possible just to not delete it from the watch if you want to keep it? Or, can you only have one watchface at a time stored on a watch?
I think you can have 3 (may depend on watch) so need to be careful about deleting others before pushing from external
You can have as many as you like but if you don’t change the Name you will get lost . If you duplicate a Publication and change the name send it out again there will be some confusion on parts of the Platform . It will not get into Fresh Faces .
One more reason for me to have a whole set of shadows, rims, bezels, etc to be able to reproduce something quickly. Besides graphics I design myself.
Of course there are watch face entirely designed in Facer, and the result as stunning. These would be a lot more difficult to re-create.
For those interested: Facer Creator Elements Only - watch faces for Apple Watch, WearOS, Galaxy Watch, Pixel Watch, Huawei Watch, and more - Facer
My watch itself only stores 3 at a time (or only that many shown on tripple tap). It can’t be unlimited. Has to be a storage limit of the watch.
I am very sorry I thought we were talking about duplicates in Creator .
Thank you all for the advice. Will not happen again!
Oh! Maybe something to add. Sometimes one can be lucky.
I enhanced a 1 year old watch face, then upon updating it, it got deleted for some new reason! Of course no duplicate available. But I had a creator session still open on my other laptop from the day before. Before reloading the creator page, I was able to duplicate the watch face that was still there in the old session! 
So duplicate, no matter what!
Thanks for the reply, Tom.
How are you creating and organizing your graphics? I have a 90 slide Powerpoint deck that looks like a bag of ass. Some things work, some don’t, but it’s a lot to dig through.
All synced to OneDrive as I have a tennant that gives me the 1tb
Top hierarchy:
Pics are images from the Internet, but also self designed stuff. As above with the hands, design files and PNGs in one directory (+ sub directories). Just to name a few:
To add: Main reason for keeping drawing files separate per watch face, per topic, per hand style, etc., is that I noticed massive performance issues when adding lots of 3D, blur, or other effects.
I like it!
