Recover deleted documents

When a user deletes a document (workbook, data model, or dataset), Sigma removes it from its organization workspace and folder, and users can no longer access its contents. If you require access to the deleted document at a later time, you can easily recover it for continued use.

This document explains how to recover a deleted document.

User requirements

The ability to recover a deleted document requires the following:

• You must be assigned an account type with the Contribute to shared folders permission enabled.

📘

If you don't have the required account type permission, contact an admin or other user with an applicable account type and request the document recovery.
