Undelete - the hidden undo (#lscanvas)

At some point, we all accidentally delete something in Canvas and it is usually something that is one of a kind.

Did you know by adding one tiny little word you can find the things you deleted in your Canvas courses?

Open your Canvas course.

1. Click on Home.

2. Pro Tip - If you ever call Canvas for tech support they will ask you what course you are talking about, just read them these numbers. (If you haven't called, try it. You will be very surprised, they are top notch!)

To find all your deleted items just add a backslash and the word undelete. The red text is what I typed in after my course address. (lindbergh.instructure.com/courses/182/undelete)

The page will now show what and when things were deleted. Click restore to bring them back.

Note: I do not know how long these items live on the Restore Deleted Items page.
