How to recover old page version that was deleted?

[Rudolf Arada]

An older version of a Confluence page was accidentally deleted minutes ago. According to Rovo, Atlassian support and/or community may be able to help me recover the deleted version from the backend, especially since it was deleted only minutes ago. This should be covered under our Confluence Cloud subscription — no extra fee, is it?

Thanks!

Hi @Rudolf Arada 

Atlassian Support https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/ probably can do it.

We, in the community, cannot - this is a public forum and we cannot access your site.

Pro tip: When you reach out to Support (or when your admin does...), after filling in the necessities and passing through the AI gatekeeper, ensure to scroll all the way down the page - you should see the option to open a chat with a live person.

Thanks for the link Kris. Initially Rovo directed me to their support pages only to be responded by AI that suggested to reach-out to the community :)

No luck, still took me to the same page I was at the beginning :(

Hi @Rudolf Arada 

Deleted page versions can't be recovered, this is a permanent action.

Only deleted content like, pages or attachments can be recovered from the space trash.

See this KB page, where this is listed; delete-restore-or-purge-a-page

Yes, and maybe... according to Rovo and some docs in those pages I viewed, Atlassian support (if I can contact them directly) will be able to help me recover the deleted version from the backend which is covered under our Confluence Cloud subscription.

Hello @Rudolf Arada 

Maybe yes, but here Community cannot help. We can´t inspect backend.👀

Ask your Confluence/site admin to open a support ticket with Atlassian and include the page URL, page ID, deleted version number, deletion time, and user who deleted it.

Theoretically, if your admin creates regular backups, it may be possible to restore it from one of those backups.

Here direct link to Support:

Best,

Yes, been through that page as well, took me to the page Kris mentioned, then to AI-monitored page: https://support.atlassian.com/contact#

I followed the options that also asked me to "contact Atlassian Support by creating a Technical Issues and Bugs ticket", but when I clicked on the "Submit a support request" button, I got these options;

I wanted to know where to go to recover an existing Confluence page version that was deleted (no longer in the history list), not a deleted page.

Hoping an Atlassian support will get back to me soon.
