Restore a deleted Test Data Collection from the Recycle Bin in the Jira space where it was deleted. After restoring it, check the recovered data in Test Environments.
Before you begin
Make sure you can access Manage Recycle Bin and have permission to restore the collection.
The deleted collection must still appear in the Recycle Bin for that Jira space.
Check for an active collection with the same name in the same Test Environment. Vansah prevents restoring a conflicting name.
Restore the collection
Open the Vansah Board in the correct Jira space.
Select the Settings gear and choose Manage Recycle Bin.
Select the Test Data Collections tab.
Expand the Test Environment that contained the collection. Use the search field if needed.
Open the deleted collection’s More menu and select Restore.
Wait for the success message. The restored collection is removed from the deleted-items list.
Verify the recovered data
Close the Recycle Bin and open Test Environments.
Select Refresh, then expand the original Test Environment and open the restored collection.
Check the collection versions, variables, values, and iterations before using the data in testing.
Important: Restoring the collection also restores its deleted versions, variables, and related deleted iterations. Review the recovered content, including items that may have been deleted separately earlier.
Troubleshooting
Problem | What to check |
The collection is not listed | Check the Jira space, Test Environment, and Recycle Bin search. Refresh the list. |
Restore is unavailable | Ask your Vansah administrator to check Recycle Bin access and restore/edit permissions. |
An active collection has the same name | Resolve the conflicting name in that Test Environment before retrying. |
Restore fails or the collection is not visible | Refresh both the Recycle Bin and Test Environments. Check the error message and inspect the current state before retrying. |
