[Feature]: Recover deleted applications

Open danciaclara opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • [X] I have searched the existing issues

Summary

Today, we don't have a way for users to recover apps on their own that may have been deleted accidentally.

Why should this be worked on?

We have had quite a few users reaching out on our support portals to help them retrieve deleted applications.

I accidentally deleted an app last week and ran into the same issue.

Would love to have this feature as an extra safety net. The "confirm deleted" button is way too easy to double-click

would also love this feature. I just deleted an app in error. I didn't realize the workspaces were reordered, and I delete the wrong app.

Same happened to me... app reordered and I've lost 10 days of work! :(

To delete an application we should be asked to type the entire name of application.

A Discord user requested this feature for recovering an app on a self-hosted instance. https://discord.com/channels/725602949748752515/1099449047300964503

couple times I was facing that my appsmith configuration was erased without any chance to recover except I saved json export. it's freaking awful service i'd never recommend even to my worst enemies.

I used GitHub to store my configuration and wanted to restore the project from it (or at least most of it) because I used a template page and I removed this template later because I actually didn't need it. I was left with datasources in every page that I couldn't remove due to a bug (https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith/issues/10358). I decided to remove an entire app locally and restore it from GH with a new fresh instance but for some reason GH is used only to store these configs. It can't be used to restore the config/project from it nor to share it with other developers because a connection from a new appsmith app to existing GH repo requires an empty repository (WHAT?).

Fortunately, I lost only 2 hours of work but without proper recover/revert to a previous state - I can't use this app.
