Is it possible to recover a deleted file in vault?

Post by ejhansen71 » Thu Jan 26, 2017 11:14 am

I have a user who had a history of 34 versions of a file. Now there is only 2. So he must have deleted the file at some point and then started again.

Is there any way to recover that history/file?

Thanks!

Right-click the parent folder of that file and select Properties. Click on the Deleted Items tab. From there the deleted file can be restored.

One possible issue though is a name conflict with what is already there. I would suggest renaming the file that only has 2 versions before restoring the deleted one. Then the user can check out the restored one and drop the renamed one on top and check it in, or user DiffMerge to merge changes from one to the other.
