Restore deleted blocks, sections, and tabs in your guidelines immediately after deletion or within 90 days using the Restore content feature.
Guideline owners and editors can restore deleted content. Viewers and reviewers can’t access this feature.
Undo a recent deletion
If you’ve just deleted a block, section, or tab while editing a guideline page, you can undo the action in either of these ways:
Keyboard shortcut: Press Ctrl + Z (Windows) or Cmd + Z (MacOS).
Confirmation message: Select Undo in the message that appears at the bottom of the screen after deletion.
The deleted content returns to its original position on the page.
Note: Undo is limited to your current editing session and doesn’t recover changes made within individual content blocks, such as deleted text or color values.
Restore content from page history
Use Restore content to recover blocks, sections, or tabs deleted within the past 90 days.
Open your guideline in edit mode.
Open Restore content (clock icon) from the powerbar.
In the dialog, find the item you want to recover. Each entry shows the deleted content, when it was deleted, and who deleted it.
Select the restore icon next to the item to restore it.
A confirmation message appears when the content is restored. Select View to navigate directly to it.
Select Restore content in the powerbar to open the list of deleted items for the current page.
Restore content with deleted parent containers
If the item you’re restoring was inside a section or tab that was also deleted, Frontify prompts you to restore the related content together.
Select Restore all to recover the item and its deleted parent containers, including their content.
If the selected item was inside a deleted section or tab, select Restore all to recover the item and its parent containers together.
Note: Restored items return to their original position. The dialog only shows content deleted from the page you’re currently editing.
