Accidentally deleted a webpart, how can I get it back
moss, sharepoint, sharepoint-2007
Solution
If you have clicked the `X` button in the top-right corner of the web part, it is simply closed. You can get it back as follows:
- Click on Actions, Edit Page
- Click Add a web part
- Click Advanced Web Part Gallery in the top bottom-right corner of the dialog
- Click on Closed Web Parts in the tool pane on the right
- Drag the closed web part from the tool pane back onto the page
If you have actually used the drop-down menu on the web part and clicked Delete, it really is deleted. If you have check-in/out available to the page you can go back to a previous version to restore it. Otherwise you will need to restore from backup if you have one.
Problem
I have deleted "New comment" webpart on the Blog Post detailed Page on the my SharePoint blog site, I am unable to find it in the webpart list. How can I get undo / add the webpart back.
