Restore Objects and Folders

When you delete an object or folder from the library, it moves to the Recycle Bin. From the Recycle Bin, you can restore an object or folder that you deleted. The restore process restores the object or folder and any other folders in the deleted path. You can specify whether to overwrite objects in the target path that have the same name as selected objects.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Library tab, contract the root folder in the left pane, and select the Recycle Bin.

   The main grid refreshes to display all automation objects and folders that currently reside in the Recycle Bin.

2. Select one or more objects or folders and click Restore Selected.
3. Click Yes on the confirmation message for restoring.
   • If the target path contains no object with the same name as a selected object, the product restores the selected object to the target location.
   • If an object in the target path has the same name as an object selected for a restoration, a warning appears. Take one of the following actions:
     • Select the object and click OK to continue the restore process.

       The product moves the object from the Recycle Bin to the target path and overwrites the object that exists in the target path.

     • Click Cancel to stop the restore process for the object.

       The product does not overwrite the object in the target path. In this case, consider moving or renaming the object with the duplicate name and then retrying the restore process.

   The restore process restores the selected objects and, if necessary, their folder paths.
