Ensure that only users with Administrator or Records Manager permissions attempt to perform document restorations.

  2. Sign-in to GoFileRoom with Administrator or Records Manager credentials.
  3. Go to
    Reports
    , then
    Document Tracking
    .

  7. Select the hyperlink of the date you wish to restore the document from.
  8. Confirm the restoration by selecting

    when prompted with “Would you like to restore a copy of this document?”
  9. Refresh the
    Document History
    screen by pressing F5 to view the new 10-digit document ID of the restored document.
The document is restored and a new document ID is generated.
