Note:

  • A restored document keeps the attributes associated with it at the time of deletion. This includes version control and association with projects, tasks, and workflow queues,
  • If another document exists with document key values identical to the document you are restoring, you are prompted to either replace the existing document or cancel the restore action. If you cancel but still need to perform the restore action, you can change the name or type of the existing document.
