Accidentally deleted a contact from your Directory? You can now restore it instantly all on your own! We’ve added a Recover Contacts tool to the Directory, giving Admins and Owners full control over manual deletions from your ContactMonkey directory.

🚀 **What’s New**

- **Instant Restore**: Recover any manually deleted contact with one click.
- **Total Data Integrit**y: Contacts return with all original information and filter logic intact.
- **No Time Limit**: Contacts are archived indefinitely—recover them weeks or years later.

 **How to Use It**

Go to Directory in your dashboard > Click the Recover Contacts icon (next to Filters) > Click the Recover icon next to the contact you want to restore.
