HELP! I deleted XYZ in Canvas…

One of our favorite tools in Canvas is the UNDELETE feature. It does not keep every piece of content that is deleted, but it may save you if you delete something by accident.

Here is how.

  1. Go to Canvas and log in. Go to the course in which you need to undelete something.
  2. Look at the URL in your address field. You should see https://canvas.rice.edu/courses/some_number. This “some_number” is your course number.
  3. After your course number, add /undelete and hit return/enter key on your keyboard.
  4. You should see a list of content you deleted.
  5. Follow the prompt to restore.

That’s it.
