Restoring deleted secrets
DECember 2023 We have released an improved version with enhanced security of Security and Encryption for Confluence Cloud. Check out the next steps for administrators.
Deleted secret
When a secret is deleted, it is sent to the Trash. It is also removed from the list of secrets.
A deleted secret will no longer be accessible through its direct URL. In the audit logs, the secret will be marked as Deleted.
As a space administrator, you can restore or purge deleted secrets. Purging will remove the secret from Confluence in its entirety, except for its audit logs.
Restoring a secret
When a deleted secret is restored, all the information and functionality are recovered. Follow these steps to restore:
choose Space Settings
under Manage pages, select Trash.Â
find the deleted secret to recover
choose Restore and follow the confirmation dialog
When restoring an upgraded legacy secret, you will be prompted to the secret and the secret info. Click Restore for both. (See image below.)
