Hi! We used to have a board called Copays and the admin that created it deleted their account and the board is gone. How could we get it back?

Hi Camryn!

Unfortunately, if the admin deleted their account, recovering the board is not straightforward. Try following the official Atlassian instructions for restoring access: https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/changing-the-admins-of-a-workspace-or-board/

To avoid this situation in the future, the Board Assistant Power-Up has a dedicated section that shows all board administrators across your workspace and highlights boards that have only one admin — so you can act before it becomes a problem.
