Restore safely

  • Restore one item first when unsure
  • Check linked records after restore
  • Review automations that might restart
  • Use purge only when permanent deletion is intended

Common issues

  • Item missing — it may be outside retention or already purged
  • Cannot restore — check admin role
  • Restored record hard to find — clear list filters and search by name
