Navigating the Stress of Accidental Access to Layoff Plans at My Company

I recently stumbled upon some sensitive information regarding upcoming layoffs at my company, which is a large organization. I accidentally received access to a document that outlines plans for the next year, including which teams and locations will be affected. It even mentions roles that are set to be eliminated, some of which are high-level positions under the CEO. I believe my name got mixed up with someone else's, leading to this unintentional access. Now I'm in a dilemma about what to do with this information. Should I keep it to myself, or is it better to report the mistake? The document doesn't have any names, just roles and timelines, and it seems like the hiring goals are focused on cheaper locations. I've seen some advice suggesting that I should monitor the situation without taking any drastic actions, as this could be a test of loyalty or a simple mistake. However, the weight of knowing this information is quite stressful, and I’m unsure of the best course of action.
