Business value
The restore deleted records feature in Microsoft Dataverse provides a safety net for accidental or bulk deletions by enabling easy recovery of records within a configurable retention period. It reduces data loss risk, saves time and costs associated with complex restores, and boosts user confidence, all while giving admins full control over enablement and governance.
Feature details
Managing data in Dataverse often involves deleting records—whether through routine processes, bulk operations, or accidental actions. Until now, recovering deleted records has been difficult or, in many cases, impossible.
The feature addresses this challenge by providing a simple, reliable way to restore deleted data. It allows admins to recover table records from any type of delete scenario—manual, automated, single, multiple, or bulk—within a configurable retention period of up to 30 days.
Key highlights
- Comprehensive recovery: Restore deleted records regardless of how they were removed.
- Flexible access: Restore data through both the Dataverse user interface and APIs/SDK.
- Configurable retention: Define how long deleted records remain available for recovery.
- Admin-controlled enablement: Administrators must enable the feature at the organization level to take advantage of recovery capabilities.
With the ability to restore deleted records, you gain greater control and resilience in your data management processes, reducing the risk of permanent data loss.
