Recovering a deleted Record, Form or Folder
The following article describes the steps for recovering a deleted Record, Form and Folder via the Database Audit Log section.
You can recover a Record, a Form or a Folder that has been deleted using the Audit Log section of the Database where the resource belonged. You might want to recover the resource because it was deleted by accident for example.

- Click on "Database settings" to open the Database Settings page.
Click on "Audit log" to navigate to the Audit log section.

For example, if you know the Form or Folder in which the deleted Record belonged you can click on "Filter by form or folder" to find the Form.
Please note that you will only view the top level Forms in this list, i.e. Forms that don't belong to any Folder. If the Form belongs to a Folder you should select the Folder instead.
- Once you find the deleted Record, click on "Recover record" under the event's name.
