    HOT TIP - UPDATE!
    I have an Adobe Illustrator file where my embedded layers have disappeared. I decided to abandon Illustrator and use Affinity Designer - It opened my Illustrator file and ALL the layers were there, including the missing embedded files.
    So, to reitterate, if you have an Illustrator file where your embedded layers are missing and you have no oither way of reinstating them, simlpy open the document using Affinity Designer.

    24th May 2021. Embedded images are missing inside my Illustrator files. I placed the images into a layer and hit the EMBED option. I've come back a week later to use the illustrator file and the embedded images are missing.
