How does one recover a deleted task? It seems difficult to find unless you have the original link of the task. Thanks!

@RobinALewis , You can use Search > Advanced search as follows: [image] Be sure to click the “Deleted” box which is not chosen by default after you add the parameter. Include a phrase to search for, or other parameter values that will help you locate the task. Larry

I would love to have a deleted project “Trash” folder in each team that allows recovery or purging - and have the ability to set restriction to team member or team admin. (hopefully no one knows of a way to do this that I’m just not paying attention to. :slight_smile:

There is a way to search deleted items, as long as you do not select “delete permanently” when you delete them. Go to your search bar and select the following “advanced” > “+ add filter” > “deleted” When the “deleted” section appears in the search criteria, select the “deleted” category to be high…

To prevent users from bein…

Adding to this thread as my team has just run into this exact issue. A project that was completed but full of helpful historical information was erroneously deleted and the deletion was not discovered until over 30 days had passed. Asana support was able to help recover some but not all of the tasks…

Bringing this back up… with the new role features… there is potential to fix this issue. With a few improvements to the feature. I made a feedback about roles that would fix this issue: [image] Roles Need to be more dynamic and capable of editing to be useful Product Feedback …

Since the new UI release, there is no feature/view to restore deleted projects from the Asana App. I think it was a very handy feature, to easily see all deleted items in one view, very accessible to recover deleted objects. They removed the feature that has been there for 6+ years, adding additio…
