If a course has been soft-deleted from your LMS and was previously archived, you can restore it using the Course Restore feature. Here's how:

  1. Navigate to the course you want to restore in your archiving instance.

  2. Locate the Restore option:

    • If you have the right permissions, you’ll find it in one of two places:

      • In the dropdown menu next to the “Sync to LMS” button, or

      • As a standalone “Restore Course” button in the top-right corner of the course page.

  3. Click the Restore button.

  4. A notification window will appear, letting you know that the course is being restored.

    • The page will automatically update once the course has been successfully restored.

Note:

  • Restoring a course to the LMS will restore the original course.

    • Canvas Course Restores, restores the original course with the content only. Enrollments will need to be added to the LMS course.

    • Brightspace Course Restores, restores the original course with the content and enrollments.

  • If a course has been hard deleted from the LMS, you will not be able to restore the course in Canvas. You will only be able to sync the course as a new course to your LMS.
