Restore Deleted Dashboards - Public Preview
Restore Deleted Dashboards - Public Preview
Restore Dashboards is in Private Preview! We would love your feedback, you can share it here.
You can restore dashboards you’ve deleted, no support ticket needed. With the new Recently deleted view, accidentally removing a dashboard no longer means lost work or rebuilding panels from scratch.
When you delete a dashboard, it now moves into a deletion history area instead of being removed permanently. From there, you can browse previously deleted dashboards and restore them to any folder you choose.
Restore dashboards from the new Recently deleted view
From the Dashboards page, click Recently deleted to see dashboards you’ve deleted. Admins can view all dashboards removed in the last 12 months.
Select one or more dashboards to restore. The folder behavior is as follows:
- If a dashboard’s original folder still exists, it’s preselected.
- If multiple dashboards were deleted from the same folder, that folder is preselected.
- If they came from different folders—or the original folder no longer exists—simply choose a new target folder.
Restored dashboards inherit the permissions of the folder you restore them into, making it easy to get them back into the right place.
How deletion history works
Deleted dashboards are stored for up to 12 months, with space for 1,000 dashboards. When that limit is reached, the oldest entries are automatically removed, even if the full retention period hasn’t passed.
Availability and limitations
This feature is currently available to Grafana Cloud only, and will roll out to customers starting February 2026. For more information, refer to the documentation.
As mentioned above, we would love your feedback, you can share it here.
Current limitations:
- Dashboard-level permissions are not restored; restored dashboards inherit folder permissions
- Version history is not preserved (restored dashboards begin at version 1).
- Folders themselves cannot be restored.
