There may be times when you need to reactivate or restore\u00a0workflows<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0workflow runs<\/a> that you had previously deleted.<\/p>\n

There are two ways that you can do this, either from your organization’s activity feed<\/a>\u00a0(to restore workflows or workflow runs) or from a workflow menu (to restore workflow runs only).<\/p>\n

Users: In order to recover deleted workflows or workflow runs, you must be an Administrator.<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n

Restore from your organization activity tab<\/h3>\n

To recover deleted workflows or workflow runs, navigate to your organization activity feed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Click your profile picture in the upper right corner of your screen, then click “Settings<\/strong>”\u00a0then select the “Activity<\/strong>” tab.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Use the drop-down button shown above, to select either “Deleted workflows<\/strong>” or “Deleted workflow runs<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

There is no limit to the activity logs, so all activity since you began your account will be recorded here.<\/p>\n

Once you have chosen deleted workflows or workflow runs, click on “Restore<\/strong>” next to the item you wish to retrieve.<\/p>\n

Your item will re-appear in your Library<\/a> (for workflows) or your Reports<\/a> (for workflow runs).<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong><\/em> If you delete a workflow that has associated workflow runs, all of your runs will be restored once that workflow has been restored.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Restore workflow runs from a workflow menu<\/h3>\n

To restore a workflow run from a workflow’s menu, click on your workflow’s name. Then click on the three dots menu in the top right corner to open up the dropdown menu.<\/p>\n

Click “Activity<\/strong>” then look for your deleted workflow run. Click “Restore<\/strong>” to add it back into your Reports<\/a> view.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Instead of deleting workflows or workflow runs, you may want to archive<\/a> them instead.<\/p>\n

Revert to an earlier version of your Workflow<\/h3>\n

On workflows, this works if you’ve published changes but you no longer want them, and you haven’t updated your workflow runs to the latest version.<\/p>\n

You can revert to an earlier version of that Workflow from its activity feed (the activity feed on the workflow, not in the organization settings area).<\/p>\n

When viewing your Workflow, click the meatball menu and click\u00a0Activity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Scroll to the version you’d like to revert back to and click Restore<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
