[ARCHIVED] Retrieving deleted quiz

How do I undelete a quiz?

[rmurchshafer · Accepted solution]

Felicia,

You can undelete almost anything in your class with these steps.

• Go to your course home page.  The URL should be something like https://yourschool.instructure.com/courses/somenumber 
• After the course number in the URL add "/undelete" so it is something like https://yourschool.instructure.com/courses/somenumber/undelete
• This page should show you content items which have been deleted from your course. The "last modified" date will be the date it was deleted.  If you find the quiz listed there simply click the Restore button and it will be recovered into your course.

This saved my sanity and a lot of time.  Whoever figured out how to do this, I owe you!  Thanks!

This is a life saver. I accidentally deleted my final exam in Chemistry, which meant that all student submissions to this exam were also gone. I was ruined! I can't thank you enough.

This did not work. It says "page not found". Is there another option?

Hello @KateEaton ...

What is the URL that you are using to try and undelete things from your Canvas course?  As @rmurchshafer had indicated in his response, it should be just the "Home" page URL of your course with the /undelete text after it in the URL.  Here is another good resource for you to check out:
