Why have all my libre office documents disappeared?

Until recently Libre Office was my go to for drafting documents. I have not used LO since last week. This morning it refused to turn on and I have no documents. One of them is a draft for a book, so hours of work. Where has it all gone?

One day I’ll file an enhancement request to title right pane of Start Center:
This are not your documents but links to your documents. If there is nothing visible here, open your File Manager

I can’t wait for that to happen. :=)

Your documents haven’t gone, they have disappeared from your list of recently opened documents because the user profile was reset or damaged. Check out the folder where you save your documents.
