Recover Deleted Content
Did you know you can see a list of deleted content in a Canvas course, and recover it?
This undocumented feature does not include every change made in a course, but most items can be restored from the hidden ‘undelete’ page:
View and Recover Deleted Content
- On the home page of any course, note the URL.
EXAMPLE:
- Add ‘/undelete’ to the end of the URL, hit Enter
EXAMPLE:
The Restore Deleted Items page will display a list of items in chronological order, including a restore button used to recover deleted content.
This little trick, or for me a lifesaver at times when I mistakenly delete something that I want to use again somewhere. Thank you for your tips and help. You guys are great.
Great tip!!

I actually deleted something I didn’t want to delete. You saved me!
