Use Jot

Recover a note

Use revisions and Trash to recover managed notes.

Before you start

A managed note with revisions, or a note in Trash.

Jot keeps revisions of managed notes. Deleted managed notes enter Trash for 30 days. Temporary notes do not have this recovery history.

Restore a revision

  1. Sign in to Jot.
  2. Open notes.
  3. Open the note.
  4. Select history.
  5. Select compare for a revision.
  6. Examine the Markdown and setting changes.
  7. Select restore for the revision you want.
  8. Confirm the restore.
  9. Examine the new current revision.

Restoring a revision creates another revision. Jot rejects a restore if another note owns the old URL path.

History can restore content and note settings. It does not restore media files. Password values are not shown in comparisons.

Jot currently keeps all revisions for a managed note. Permanent note deletion removes its history.

Restore a note from Trash

  1. Open trash in the workspace.
  2. Find the note and its restore deadline.
  3. Select restore.
  4. Open the restored draft.
  5. Publish the draft when it is ready.

A removed note is not public while it is in Trash. The restore action saves it as a draft. Permanent deletion cannot be undone in Jot. The automated Trash cleanup job is not enabled today.

See the operation reference for other ways to restore a note.
