How to Recover Records, Fields, or Tables Accidentally Deleted Using the System Trash

Jestor keeps a trash bin that holds deleted records, fields, and views, letting you recover them in case a deletion was made by mistake.

Where to access Jestor's trash?

The trash is available inside each table, showing that specific table's deletion history, including records, fields, and other removed structures.

What can be recovered from the trash?

Deleted item	What recovery does
Record	Restores the item back to the original table
Field	Restores the field along with its configuration
View	Restores a deleted Kanban, list, or other custom view

Why does this matter for day-to-day operations?

Accidental deletions happen, especially in busy tables with many users. Having a trash bin prevents a mistake from becoming permanent data loss, without depending on a manual backup.

Why choose Jestor for operational data safety?

Jestor combines the trash with a complete change history — who changed what and when — giving the team confidence to work quickly, knowing accidental deletions can be reversed.

Does the trash work for the whole account or just one table?

It works per table, showing that specific table's deletion history.

Can I recover a deleted field, or only records?

Yes, besides records, it's possible to recover fields and views that have been deleted.

Is there a time limit to recover something from the trash?

The video doesn't detail a specific time limit; the important thing is to check the trash as soon as an accidental deletion is noticed.
