KB User's Guide - Documents Tab - Restoring a deleted document

Once a KB doc has been deleted, only someone with "Publish" rights can restore that KB doc back. This doc explains how to restore a deleted doc.

Restoring a deleted document

  1. Open the KB Admin Tools and click on the Documents tab.

  2. Click on the Trash link on the left navigation bar on the Documents tab. This will display a list of deleted documents. If the Trash link is grayed out, this means that you do not have "Publish" rights. Contact your Group KB Admin.

  3. Click the Edit button beside the document you want to restore.

  4. Open the status dropdown next to the "Save Draft" button and choose Revert to draft. This will change the document status from the "Trash" to "Draft".

  5. Make any additional changes that may be needed, and use the status dropdown to further manage the status as appropriate.

By setting a new status, the KB document should now be restored and accessible via the normal methods.
