Guide
You can restore deleted Entities, Views, Fields, Databases, and Spaces from Trash.
You can apply Filters to find exactly what you need.
To restore something, you need a place to restore it to. For example, if both a Field and the Database it belonged to were deleted, you need to restore the Database first. Check the Activity Log to investigate/identify what you need to recover first.
Please, note that on Standard plan history is limited for 90 days.
Use Pro version for the unlimited history.

How to restore a Smart Folder?
A Smart Folder is similar to a signpost or a pointer.
When you delete a Smart Folder, you are only deleting the path to the Context Views stored within it. Deleting the Smart Folder removes the path in the sidebar to those Views. However, the Views themselves remain accessible with a direct link - they are not deleted.
Because a Smart Folder is like a signpost or a pointer, when it is deleted, it does not appear in the Trash the same way Entities, Documents, or Views do. Therefore, it cannot be restored from the Trash.
However, if you create a new Smart Folder with the same Database, it will restore the path, and the Views can be found again in the sidebar.
FAQ
I can't see the Entity/Field/View that I have deleted in Trash. What can be the reason?
Most likely it means that you've also deleted a place where this Entity/Field/View belonged to. To restore them, go to Activity Log
I can't see the Database that I have deleted in Trash. What can be the reason?
Most likely it means that you've also deleted the Space that this Database belonged to. Please restore the Space first.
What happens if I restore an Entity or a Field that is included in a Rule?
Restoring an Entity or a Field triggers a related Rule.
For example, you have a Rule that runs when an Entity is created. If you delete an Entity and then restore it, the Rule will run. If you have a Rule that Links Entities via Relation Field, if you delete that Field and restore it, the Rule will run.
If that's undesirable, please temporarily disable the Rules.
If I restore a Relation Field, will the linked Entities be restored too?
Yes, links to Entities will be restored when a Relation Field is restored. Based on the number of linked Entities, it may take a couple of minutes.
How can I search in the Trash?
To search for deleted items in the Trash, you can use the filters in the upper-right corner of the Trash view.
These filters allow you to:
🔎 Note: There's no full-text search in the Trash, so filtering by database or date is the best way to locate what you’re looking for.
