Reactivate Bitbucket workspace

[-IronLupus-]

Hi!

Go the e-mail about my Free Bitbucket workspaces:

---

If your Free Bitbucket workspace contains repositories but hasn't been visited in the past 6 months:

◦ We'll deactivate these workspaces on January 15, 2026, making all content inaccessible. To keep your workspace, sign in before May 15, 2026, and click Reactivate workspace. After this date, any inactive workspaces will be permanently deleted, along with their content.

Can't find the "Reactivate workspace" button.

Could you, please, tell where it's located?

Dude, I just saw the same email and thought about making a post too! 

I'm going to be honnest, I'm not here about the reactivate button, but about the update in general: Them DEACTIVATING or DELETING our projects annoys the SHIT out of me! 

It all started with Confluence documentation. An email saying if I didn't logged back in, they were going to delete my documentation pages. And this is still going on every ~2 months I get the message "Your subscription will be deactivated due to inactivity soon". 

First of all when I make documentation pages, they aren't for in 2 months. They are for in 10 years, when I want to make modifications to my now depricated tool, so WTF is the point of making documentation if your going to delete it? And I'm talking about 6 pages of documentation. What are they saving by deleting this? 10kb of storage?

And now they are "Deactivating" our entire codebases??????? And free codebases are Max. 1GB and data storage is so cheap I just don't understand the move here.

I'm trusting them to store my life's work, but if they touch any of it, I'm moving tf out!

Anyway, I too couldn't find the reactivate button.

I just signed in and couldn't find any "Reactivate workspaces" button. If I go to https://bitbucket.org/<MY_USERNAME>/workspace/settings there's only a button "Update workspace". Scary stuff!

Hey everyone,

The reactivate button will only appear for workspaces that are scheduled to be deactivated after January 15, 2026. You can log in and click 'reactivate' on the affected workspace to keep it.

You have until May 15, 2026, to complete this task, after which the repository and its content will be permanently deleted. For more details, please check our community post here.

Regards,
Syahrul

Atlassian should fully communicate how Reactivate Workspace functions when sending out emails about deletion tied to inactivity

If there's no button then it means that the workspace is considered active and won't be deleted, we're safe.

If your Free Bitbucket workspace contains repositories and has been actively used in the last 6 months:
◦ Your workspace is considered active and won't be affected by this cleanup.

But where the button should be? I have workspace that is inactive from 2020, but I can't find the button anywhere.
