Restore from incremental backup

Danger

Because you might lose some of your latest work, only proceed if you have been instructed to do this by Shine Forms Support.

This article shows how to restore a single certificate from the last automatic backup.

  • Restoring a certificate from the incremental backup will remove the existing certificate and replace it with what was in the last incremental backup.
  • The process cannot be reversed and you might lose work.
  • Make sure you are only doing this if you have been instructed to do so by Shine Forms Support!
