Groups – Restore groups and categories | Updated

A new Recycle Bin option is available in the Groups tool, enabling you to restore individual group units or entire categories within a course offering. When you restore groups, existing enrollments and lockers are also reinstated (if present). Any activities linked to the restored groups, such as discussions or assignments, can then be individually restored through their respective restore pages.

Note: Groups and categories deleted before this feature was introduced in November 2024/20.24.11 do not appear in the Groups Recycle Bin. To restore these previously deleted items, contact D2L Support for assistance.

This feature implements the following PIE item:

• D5136 ( Restore groups and group categories)
