| <h1>Restoring deleted resources from local history</h1> |
| <p>To restore a deleted Workbench resource with a state from the local history:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>In one of the navigation views, select the folder or project into which you want to restore a local history |
| state.</li> |
| <li>From the resource's pop-up menu, select <b>Restore from Local History...</b>. The Restore From Local History |
| dialog opens showing all files that were previously contained in the selected folder or project and all of their |
| sub-folders.</li> |
| <li>Check the files that you want to restore</li> |
| <li>If you don't want to restore just the last state of a file you can select any other state of the file from the |
| <b>Local History</b> list on the right hand side of the dialog. The bottom pane of the dialog shows the contents of |
| the state.</li> |
| <li>If you are done with all files click <b>Restore</b>.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p><em>Tip</em>: You can configure your Workbench preferences to specify how many days to keep files, or how many |
| entries per file you want to keep, or the maximum file size for files to be kept with the <a class="command-link" |
