Restore items in a library

Overview

We can restore a set of items within a library that either have the same label or were versioned at, or before, a specified date and time.

• We can restore only one set of items at a time. We cannot run a second restore request until the first request is completed. If we are restoring many items, this action might take some time.

• When we restore items containing links or references to other items, if the original item no longer exists we are prompted to select a new item to link or reference.

• We must be an Administrator to work with web content libraries.

• A library cannot be restored while there are any items currently locked or checked out by users. Before restoring a library view all published items in a library and unlock any items marked as checked out or locked.

• Labels applied to versions are not syndicated to subscribers.
