Restore Archived Checks¶

Bring an archived check back, with its configuration and history. Restore it as Active with Activate , so the next Scan of its table or file evaluates it again, or as Draft with Draft , so you can review it before it runs.

Restore as	Use it when
Active	The check is still right and should run in the next Scan.
Draft	The check needs a review or a change before it runs again.

Permission Required

Restoring a check as Draft requires the Drafter team permission on its datastore. Restoring it as Active requires the Author team permission. Either way, your organization needs the module for its rule type. See Team Permissions.

Where you can do this

These actions are on the Checks tab of a datastore, a table or file, a field, and a check template. Each one lists the checks of that context, with the same tabs, row menu , and bulk selection.

When a check cannot be activated

A check stays archived when it cannot be activated, and the dialog shows why. For example, when an identical Active check already exists, the reason links to the conflicting check, which you can open in a side panel.

When a check restored as Draft is ready, see Activate Draft Checks.
