How to restore deleted Sessions or Session files

Applies to:

  • Revu 21
Only the Session host can restore a deleted Session that is within the retention policy. This feature is not available while offline.

Restore deleted Sessions or Session files directly within Revu. Restoring a Session brings back all the contents associated with the Session, such as:

  • Files

  • Markups

  • Session history

  • Session settings

  • User permissions

Recovered content will have its status changed from Deleted to Active.

To restore a Session or Session files, follow these steps:

  1. Open Revu and sign in to Studio.
  2. Select the Session icon, then select the Deleted tab.
  3. Locate the Session or Session file you want to recover and select Restore.

Inactive Session notifications and retention policy

Session hosts will receive an email notification 10 days before a Session becomes inactive and the status changes to Deleted. To keep the Session active, follow the instruction in the email. This will reset the time stamp for the Session, keeping it active and extending the period before it's deleted.

If a Session host marks a Session as finished, the Session is permanently deleted after 120 days.

If Sessions aren't finished by the host (or an attendee with full control permissions):

  • After 80 days of inactivity, the host is notified via their BBID email that the Session will be archived in 10 days.

    If the email doesn't arrive in your inbox, please check your spam or junk folder and make sure that studio@bluebeamops.com is on the approved list of senders.

  • After 90 days, the Session is archived.

  • After 170 days, the host is notified via their BBID email that the Session will be deleted in 10 days.

  • After 180 days, the Session is deleted.

    Even after a Session is considered deleted, it won't be permanently removed from the Studio server for an additional 120 days. During this period, the Session is still recoverable.
  • After 300 days (120 days after deletion), the Session is permanently deleted and not recoverable.
