    Good Morning!


    I had an employee who was terminated on Friday, unknowingly delete all of the used Jotforms. Is there a way for me to recover those JotForms that she has deleted?


    We would need these as soon as possible please.


    Thank you.

    Hi Rbartonwc,

    You can recover your deleted form from Trash section, under My Forms page.

    In that section, click on your deleted form and hit restore, after that you'll see your form again under My Forms.

    I don't see that restore button option on my screen.

    The employee then purged the forms so they don't show up. Do you guys not have the ability to restore them?

    Unfortunately, if the forms/submissions were already purged, we can no longer restore them as it is completely removed from our servers. A warning is provided whenever you purge or permanently delete a form:

    This informs the user that the process cannot be undone.
