📊 Restore a Missing Custom Report Widget

Last updated on Nov 12, 2026

📌 Why the widget is missing

Removing a widget changes only the layout of that custom report. It does not delete the metrics behind the widget. There is no customer-facing backup or version history for a custom report layout, so you cannot roll the report back to an earlier design. To restore a missing widget, add it to the report again.

🛠️ Add Key Events by Channel again

Follow these steps to put Key Events by Channel Grouping back on the report.

  1. Open the project that owns the custom report.
  2. Open the custom report that is missing the widget.
  3. Switch the report to edit mode, or choose the control that lets you change the layout.
  4. Select Add widget.
  5. Locate Key Events by Channel Grouping in the component list and drag it onto the section canvas.
  6. Place the widget where you want it on the layout.
  7. Save the report layout. The widget appears on the report once added.

🔍 If the widget still does not show

  • Confirm you are in the correct project and the correct custom report. A widget is saved on that report only.
  • Check the date range for the report. If the selected date range has no recorded activity, the widget may display no data.
  • Confirm key events are still set up for the property. If an event was removed or renamed, the widget may have nothing to display.
  • If you keep more than one saved report, check whether the widget is still on another copy.

💡 Avoid losing a layout

Because you cannot restore an older layout automatically, keep a spare copy before you remove widgets.

  • Save the layout as a new reusable template before making a large layout change.
  • Name the copy clearly, for example with the date and the word backup.
  • Edit the working copy, and leave the duplicate unchanged until the new layout looks right.
