Viewing and restoring deleted files


    All workgroup files that you delete from a site can be viewed and restored. The method for restoring a deleted file depends on how the file was deleted.

    • If your Site preferences are set to move deleted files to the Site Trash folder, you restore the files by manually moving them back to the appropriate folder.
    • If your site preferences are set to move deleted files to the system trash, you can use the Restore command to automatically restore the deleted files to their original location in the site.

    Note: If you delete the file revision history of a file using the Workgroup Admin, a file deleted to the system trash cannot be restored. (See Adobe Web Workgroup Server Help.)

To restore files from the site trash:

  1. On the Extras tab of the site window, expand the SiteTrash folder.
  2. Select the files in the SiteTrash folder you want to restore, and drag them to the desired location on the Files tab.

To view and restore files deleted from the server:

  1. With the site open, choose Site > Revisions > Show Deleted Server Files, or right-mouse click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) anywhere in the background of the Files tab, then choose Revisions > Show Deleted Server Files from the context menu.
  2. Deleted files appear dimmed in the site window at the same location they had before they were deleted.

  3. Select the deleted file you want to restore, and choose Revisions > Restore from the context menu.
  4. GoLive automatically restores the file to its original location in the site. Refresh the site view (Site > Refresh View) to ensure that all files are correctly displayed.
