Upgrade StorageRequest for Assistance: Restoring Accidentally Deleted Tags in Zotero
Hello everyone,
I encountered an issue earlier when I accidentally deleted several important tags using the "Delete Automatic Tags in Library" button. Upon checking the Zotero Web Library, I noticed that these tags are missing there as well, indicating that the deletion has been synchronized via Zotero Storage.
I would like to know if there is a way to restore these tags. Additionally, I have a local copy of my Zotero folder on another computer where the tags should still exist since it hasn’t synced recently. If it’s possible to use this backup for restoration, could you please guide me on how to proceed?
Thank you very much for your help!

dstillmanYou should be able to restore from one of the automatic backups on this computer or the computer that hasn't yet synced the deletions. (On the other computer, you could also make a copy of zotero.sqlite — not the backups — before starting Zotero and use that as the "backup".)
