Mistakes happen a work item gets deleted, and you need it back. The Restore Items section, available within each project’s activity view, makes that easy.
Instead of scanning across your entire Jira instance, you can now review and recover only the deleted items related to the current project.
Whether something was removed unintentionally or needs to be reactivated, you’re in control.
With this feature, you can:
-
Instantly see what was deleted in this project
-
Restore important work items with just one click
-
Permanently clean up unwanted items, if needed
It’s all about bringing clarity, safety, and autonomy to your daily work right where you need it, with no noise from other projects.
