Restoring unintentionally deleted course content & data is always a challenge. However, accidents happen, and under certain circumstances, certain course elements may be restored. In fact, our current version of D2L allows instructors to "undelete" some course elements.
This article describes which objects can be restored (unassisted) by any GeorgiaVIEW course instructor, and which deleted content will require intervention from D2L.
Below are some Knowledge Base articles for instructors that describe how they can restore specific course items on their own. The following items can be retrieved in D2L, no matter how long they have been deleted:
Below are listed items that instructors cannot restore by themselves. If a data restore is required, contact the DHC to submit a data restore request to the appropriate team.
Please note that periodic server backups are not retained indefinitely, so restoring any item deleted over 30 days ago may be impossible.
