Retore deleted WF from the mongoDB

Question

Hello Experts

Some WF has been deleted from the USer private studio , when I query MongoDB by :

db.getCollection('appInfos').find({"CreatedBy": 'User_object_id'})

I can clearly find all the WF for that user (deleted and not) is it any tip to restore those WF ?

P.S : I don't have a recent DB backup

Thanks and Regards

It's hit and miss, sometimes it will show up and sometimes it doesn't. more often then naught it doesn't so I think it's deeper then just changing the value for it to show up on the gallery. Which does suck since the data is still there just not visible so an undo button would be really good for accident's like that.

Or if someone goes postal and deletes everyone's workflow before getting fired

@asma_rez I highly urge you to take a backup of the mongodb before tampering with it. Also, making changes to the mongodb is not supported.

Having said that, you should just be able to turn the "IsDeleted" tag to false and the workflow will appear back.

This is found in the Alteryx Gallery db -> appInfos collection -> look for your workflow that you want to 'not delete'.
