Delete and restore canceled items

You can cancel items if you decide to stop working on them or freeze them. Canceled items can be restored from the canceled recycle bin. If you restore an item, only the item is restored and not its child items. After you restore an item, select the audit log. This shows you when it was deleted, and also a string of the child items that were deleted. You can then restore each child item if needed. You can also permanently delete the items from the canceled recycle bin.

As an example, this topic describes the procedure of deleting and restoring stories, but you can also use the following procedures for epics, capabilities, and features.
