If a student thinks they've lost their work, you can follow the steps below to help to restore their writing.

Tip! The very first thing you may want to have a student try is "Command + Z" (on a Mac) or "CTRL + Z" (on a PC) to undo their last action. Often, students accidentally delete their work and this will bring it back immediately!

❗ Note: Follow these steps if the assignment is not using a Google Doc
