⚠️ Deleted Layouts Cannot Be Recovered

If you accidentally deleted a layout or template in Report Builder, unfortunately it cannot be restored. Deletion is permanent — Search Atlas does not retain a backup of removed layouts, and there is no undo option available at this time.

🔄 How to Rebuild Your Layout

  1. Go to Report Builder from your Search Atlas dashboard.
  2. Click Create New Report.
  3. Add the same widgets, metrics, and data sources you had in the original layout.
  4. Arrange and resize widgets to match your previous configuration.
  5. Give the layout a clear, recognizable name before saving.

💡 Tips to Avoid Accidental Deletion

  • Double-check the name before deleting — Report Builder does not always prompt for confirmation.
  • Name layouts with the owner or purpose (e.g. "Ryan — Weekly SEO Overview") for easier identification.
  • Periodically screenshot important layout configurations as a backup reference.
