Restoring Individual Content Items

The Canvas "Undelete" feature is a valuable tool for recovering individual items that have been accidentally deleted. Here's a concise guide on how to use this feature:

Step 1

Access Undelete Feature: Go to the home page of your Canvas course and append "/undelete" to the course's URL in the address bar.

View Restorable Items: You'll be directed to a page listing recently deleted items that can potentially be restored. Each item will have a brief description. If the item you wish to restore is listed, click the "restore" option next to it.

Please note that this feature cannot restore all items, and it may not be compatible with certain Canvas elements. Additionally, if a restored item was originally part of a module, it will need to be manually re-added to the appropriate module.
