It has been known to happen that an item is deleted by mistake. This can be catastrophic if it was an item referenced by hundreds of links or reports.
It would be good if there was the ability to recover from a deleted items items folder. Either at the user level or at a system level that an admin could execute.
It is not viable to do a repository recovery and select items from a prior back up.
The more users we have, the greater the chance for errors.
