overwrote a file in pages - want to recover it

Hello, I have overwritten a file in Pages. Very stupid. I got the question if I wanted to overwrite the document with the same title. And I thought I was going to overwrite an older version. Instead I overwrote the only version of the document I had. Is there a possibility to recover the document? I guess not. But I put my last hope in this community of wizards. It would be so great to recover it. It was a new poem about the war. I have to read it tomorrow. I can not rewrite it the same way. Help!

As you have overwritten the page file with a new one by using the same name, you can recover the original file with the Time Machine backup or a professional data recovery.

Time Machine backs up your Mac automatically if you have enabled it to do so and a professional data recovery software -- iBoysoft Data Recovery Software is able to scan for the overwritten file in Pages. 

Download and install it to recover the overwritten files on Mac with ease.
