[ARCHIVED] recover deleted assignment

[marina1]

Hello,

I am an instructor.  I accidentally deleted an assignment.  The assignment included submissions from students.  Is it possible for me to recover the assignment and the link?

Thank you for any feedback!

Hello  @marina1 ...

There is a way to recover items that you have deleted in your course.   @hollands  has written a great blog in the Canvas Admins group about how to do this (if you're not a member of that group, you might consider joining).  Here is a direct link to his blog: Undeleting things in Canvas.  Hope this helps!!!

 @marina1 ​,  @Chris_Hofer ​ has given you great advice. I'll add this in case anyone else comes across this question: If, for some reason, the steps in  @Robbie_Grant 's blog post don't work in your case, submit a help ticket to Canvas Help so they can work their awesome magic.

Thank you for this information Chris. I had accidentally deleted a group of a dozen assignments that all had multiple student submissions. They are all now back where they belong 🙂

Something else to consider, depending on when you created/deleted the assignment, it should still be on the Canvas test environment (with grades, etc) - How do I access the Canvas test environment?

I did a search for it and found it here:

Very helpful! The "undelete" tip worked for me!

The above link did not work, but after a while I figured out how to recover deleted assignments. 

Go to History under your account

Then click on the one you deleted

Look at the URL it will say something like this: https://instructure.com/courses/2243/assignments

What you have to do is click enter on the URL and delete the word "assignment" at the end and replace it with undelete. It should look like this: https://instructure.com/courses/2243/undelete

It will then take you to all of your most recent deleted assignments, choose the one you need restored and click it.

I hope this helped some of you. I do not know if the set up changes depending on the district or maybe the type of device that you use, but just in case I am using a lap top HP ProBook model.
