I made a board and cards and list on the free Trello. It seems to have disappeared. How can I get it back?

1. Check for Closed Boards

If your board was closed (not deleted), you can reopen it:

  • Go to the Trello homepage.

  • Click the "Boards" button.

  • Scroll down and select "View all closed boards."

  • Find your board and click "Re-open."
    Note: You can only reopen boards you were an admin of. Closed boards are not deleted and can be restored.

2. Check for Archived Lists or Cards

If a list or card was archived (not deleted), you can restore it:

  • Open the board menu.

  • Select "Archived items."

  • Switch to "lists" or search for the card.

  • Click "Send to Board" to restore a list or "Restore" for a card.

3. Deleted Boards or Cards

Unfortunately, if a board or card was permanently deleted, it cannot be recovered. Deletion is permanent on free Trello Workspaces. There is an open feature request to allow restoring deleted boards, but this is not currently available. You can watch the feature request for updates: "Ability to restore deleted boards".

4. Search for Boards and Cards

Use the search bar at the top of Trello to look for your missing board, list, or card. Sometimes items are just misplaced or filtered out.
