[ARCHIVED] Retrieving Deleted Announcements

[ziebarthj]

Is there a way to retrieve deleted announcements?  My assistant deleted most of my previous announcements by mistake?  Thank you!

Hello  @ziebarthj  and welcome to the Canvas Community! I've listed below a few previous discussion posts in reference to your question that may be helpful:

• Is there a way to access a deleted announcement? 
• Undelete 
• Announcements deleted without my permission? 
• https://community.canvaslms.com/message/155000-deleted-announcement-restore 

Hope this helps. Thanks!

None of these links are still available. Please share a usable resource to help me retrieve a deleted announcement.

Unfortunately, none of these solutions are still available.  I have searched every way I can think of to find the solution.  PLEASE HELP!

Good morning, @LoisHorn-Diaz ...

Have you tried using the hidden "undelete" trick?  Check out this link:

Undeleting things in Canvas

I just tried putting /undelete at the end of my sandbox course URL, and I was able to see old announcements I had deleted.  So, maybe this will be of help to you as well.

Also, just so you know...some of the links you were asking about (which no longer work) are because:

• links may not have migrated properly when Instructure moved to a different Community platform in the Summer of 2020
• some content was archived...such as the link that points to "Announcements deleted without my permission?".  If you click on that link, you can request that the link be restored by filling out the linked form under the heading "What if I lose access to something I need?".

I hope this information will be of some help to you.  Sing out if you have any questions...thanks!
