Recovering Deleted Items

If you accidentally deleted an item in Canvas, there are a few ways the content can be recovered.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

• Undeleting Content
• Restoring Content on a Page

Undeleting Content

For recently deleted Canvas elements (e.g., Assignments, Pages, Discussions) that you'd like to restore, use Undelete in the URL to restore your item.  Important: This method will work only with recently deleted items.

1. Go to the Home page of the course.
2. Type /undelete In the address bar at the end of the course URL. 
   
   
3. Hit Enter/Return. The page that appears will contain a list of recently deleted items with restore buttons next to them. 
4. Click restore next to the item you want restored. 
   
   

Note: If a Discussion is restored, previous student submissions to the discussion will not be restored.

Restoring Content on a Page

If content is deleted on a Canvas Page, you can restore the page to an earlier version by clicking View Page History.

1. If you have deleted content and saved the Page, go to the vertical 3-dot settings icon and choose View Page History. 
   
2. Select the previous version you'd like to restore and choose Restore this revision.
