You can restore any deleted document under version control to the Library and its linked position in the Outline Editor. The Deleted Documents view in the Library displays the documents that have been deleted, but not yet purged by the content Administrator. Documents that appear in this view are only those that have been deleted after being under version control (checked in at least once). New documents that are deleted after they are created and never checked in cannot be restored and do not appear in the Deleted Documents view. The Deleted Documents view and the Outline Editor let you restore documents to their original locations in the Library as well in any outline in which they are used.
 
If the folder where the deleted document was stored has also been deleted, the deleted folder is restored when the document is restored. If the folder has been renamed or moved, the document is restored to the renamed/moved folder. 

Note: You must be working online to restore a deleted document.

If related documents were also deleted, you have the option to restore only the selected document or all related documents.

Restoring a deleted document creates a new version that is viewable in Document History. A comment of "Restored" is automatically assigned so you know that the new version was a result of performing the Restore command.

Warning! You cannot undo a Restore command.
