How do I Recover Deleted Assignments?

[cashby]

Hi Canvas community. I'm in a bit of a pinch here. I've accidentally deleted an Assignment section for one of my classes. Do any of you know how I can recover this? I need this section/course/ Assignment group back today because it is an entire quarter of Citizenship and Attendance for one of my classes.

Hi  @cashby  , and  Welcome to the Canvas Community!

Although not terribly well documented by Canvas (not in the guides for some silly reasons), it is actually very easy, and you can learn how at Undeleting things in Canvas 

This is likely one of more more favorite things in Canvas.

 @cashby ‌,  @kmeeusen ‌ has given you some great advice by steering you to one of Canvas's best kept secrets‌ (thanks, Kelley!). I'd only add that "undelete" is not well documented because it is technically not supported. "Undelete" works in many situations—but if it doesn't in this case, please submit a ticket, because Canvas Support often performs miracles (How do I get help with Canvas as an instructor?‌).

@JohnBlake and @tylarregui ...

The Canvas Community website transitioned to a new platform back in late Summer 2020.  Some of the links (like the ones you are trying to access above) did not migrate properly...or migrate at all.  Most of the time, you can usually use any of the search boxes at the top of Community pages to search for the titles of those links.  The new URL for the page you are looking for should come up.  Here is what I could find for you:

• Undeleting things in Canvas
• How do I get help with Canvas as an instructor?

I wasn't able to find a new link to "best kept secrets", but hopefully these links that I've provided will be of help to you.
