How do I find a deleted question in my admin console?
One of my users didn't mean to delete a question he posted and was wondering if I could find it to repost. The question contained data that he no longer has and he says compiling a similar question will take hours. How do I search for it in my console even though it's not present in the user area?
You can easily locate a deleted question by using your console's content filtering feature.
Follow these steps:
- Click the Content tab in your admin console
- Click Manage Content, on the sidebar
- Click the drop-down box labeled Content Type
- Select Question
- Click more options, just to the right of this drop-down box
- Now click the down arrow on the right side of the box labeled with state until you see Delete (*)
- Click Delete (*)
- Now enter your user's AnswerHub username in the field titled Users Filter
- Click Refresh. Your console should quickly provide all of this user's deleted questions
- Sift through the results and find the particular question
- Click the box to the immediate top-left of this specific question that was deleted
- Click Publish, at the very top or bottom of the results list
Now your user's deleted question is back on your AnswerHub site, all with very little searching done on your part.
