How to Recover Deleted Content in Canvas

To recover missing or deleted content in Canvas:

  1. From within the relevant Canvas course, find the course ID in your browser's URL bar. The course ID is the seven-digit number following https://canvas.slu.edu/courses/.
     
  2. Remove everything following the course ID except the forward slash (  / ), and add the word undelete. The new URL will look similar to this:
      
      https://canvas.slu.edu/courses/1234567/undelete
  3. Press Enter.
     
  4. Click Restore next to the appropriate item(s).
     
  5. Click OK. Your item(s) should now be restored.
