Note:
- The records in the Recycle Bin will be available based on the Role hierarchy and your permission to view the records.
- Zoho Desk only restores lookup relationships that have not been replaced. For example, if a contact is related to a different account prior to the original account record being restored, that contact-account relationship is not restored.
- Articles and sections deleted from your KBase can be managed from the Recycle Bin folder available within that module.
