Files missing

Hi,
The day before yesterday, I was reorganising my entries in Zotero when suddenly, approx. 20 of my entries disappeared completely. I have already annotated some of them, and I am unable to recover them. Is there any way of accessing the past version of my library in Zotero (to the date of 23 October)?

Yes, you (or someone with access to your library, such as on a shared computer where you left yourself logged in) deleted a bunch of items on 10/24.

You may be able to recover those using one of the automatic backups. If the timestamps are from after that date, your only option would be to restore from another backup you made of your Zotero data directory.
