How to Restore Deleted Squarespace Content
Learn to recover deleted Squarespace pages and blog posts within 30 days.
Quick Summary
- Only blog posts and pages deleted within the last 30 days can be restored
- Restored blog posts revert to drafts and need republishing
- Deleted code, text, or blocks cannot be recovered after exiting the editor
- Most collection items and all data over 30 days old cannot be restored
How to Restore Deleted Pages and Blog Posts
You can restore pages and blog posts in Squarespace, but only within 30 days of deletion. Here's how:
1. Find Your Deleted Content
Go to the 'Pages' panel in your Squarespace dashboard. Scroll down and look for 'Deleted Pages' or 'Deleted Posts' (depending on what you're trying to restore).
Can't see these options? That means there's nothing available to restore.
2. Restore Your Content
For deleted pages: Hover over the page title you want back and click 'Restore'. Confirm when the pop-up appears.
For blog posts: The process is similar, though the interface looks slightly different between Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1.
3. Put Everything Back in Place
Restored pages will appear in the 'Not Linked' section of your navigation. Just drag them where you want them to appear on your site.
Restored blog posts come back as drafts. You'll need to open each one, make any necessary edits, and republish it.
What You Can't Restore
Some deleted content is gone for good:
Text and blocks: If you've closed the editor without saving, those changes are lost forever. Always save your work or keep the editor open whilst you're making changes.
Most collection items: Events, portfolio pieces, and products can't be restored once deleted. Only blog posts get the 30-day recovery window.
Code and custom CSS: Delete code from code blocks or the custom CSS panel? It's gone once you close that editor. Always back up your code somewhere else first.
Pro tip: Export your pages regularly and save important code snippets in a separate document. It's much easier than trying to recreate everything from scratch.
Common Questions
Can I restore a blog post deleted more than 30 days ago?
No. Squarespace only keeps deleted pages and blog posts for 30 days.
What happens to restored blog posts?
They come back as drafts in both Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1. You'll need to edit and republish them.
Can I recover deleted code?
No. Code deleted from code blocks, code injection areas, or the custom CSS panel cannot be recovered.
Key Terms
Deleted Pages and Blog Posts: Content you've removed from your Squarespace site (but might still be recoverable).
Collection Items: Different types of content like blog posts, events, or products.
Code Block: Areas where you can add custom code snippets to your site.
Custom CSS Panel: Where you write CSS code to change how your site looks.
The Bottom Line
Remember the 30-day rule and understand what can and can't be recovered. Regular backups of your content and code will save you headaches later. If you're making big changes, save frequently and consider duplicating important pages before editing them.
