How to Restore Deleted Files in Canvas

My favorite hidden feature in Canvas is the ability to restore files and other resources that you have deleted.

Warnings:

• The tool is not 100% effective, so be cautious when you remove information from your course.
• The tool only restores your content. Any related student submissions or responses may not be restored.

Use these instructions to restore items in your course:

• Navigate to the Home page of the course where the file previously existed.
• Click in the address bar in your browser after the course number:
  
• Remove any other information in the address bar.
• Type /undelete after the course number in the address bar:
  
• Press Enter, and the browser will load a page with files and other resources that have been deleted from the course:
  
• Find the item in the list that you want to restore.
• Click the Restore button next to the item you want to restore:
  
• Click the OK button, and the item will be restored:
