Recover data

When an Administrator confirms a request to delete an account or purge application data, DreamApply flags that data for deletion. The flagged data is permanently deleted within 24 hours during an overnight cleanup process.

Before the cleanup process begins, Administrators can recover flagged data. Restoring the data immediately reactivates all associated resources and information and makes it available in the system as if no deletion request has been submitted.

Before you begin

To recover applicant data, your account must have the Superuser role or the data-protection permission.
