Accidents happen. Someone deletes a role, a circle, or a proposal by mistake. Nestr provides several recovery mechanisms depending on how recently the deletion occurred.
The undo feature
When you delete an item, Nestr provides an undo option in the activity stream. This is your first line of defence:
Navigate to the circle where the deletion occurred.
Look for the activity stream (often accessible from the circle's detail view or sidebar).
Find the deletion event.
Click the undo link to restore the item.
You can recover all deleted information in Nestr.
Time limit: The undo feature is available for a limited window (typically 24 hours) after deletion. After that, the undo link expires.
What undo restores
The item itself (role, circle, project, policy, etc.)
Its title, purpose, and description
Accountabilities and domains
User assignments
What undo doesn't restore
Nested items that were deleted as part of a parent deletion may not all be recovered
Meeting history and chat messages associated with the item
When to contact support
If the undo window has passed or the undo link doesn't work:
Provide the workspace name, the approximate time of deletion, and what was deleted.
We maintain backups and can often recover recently deleted data.
Preventing accidental deletions
Understand the delete flow — Nestr always asks for confirmation before deleting. Read the confirmation dialog carefully.
Use governance proposals — In governed workspaces, structural changes go through the consent process, adding a layer of review before changes take effect.
Export before major changes — Before restructuring, export your data as a safety net.
