Monitoring

In the last few hours we’ve restored lost data to 98% of affected workspaces.

In certain instances we were not able to restore a small number of changes (5 or fewer per workspace.) Some changes made to the workspace in the intervening time prevent us from taking certain actions. For instance, we are not able to restore a comment to an issue that has since been manually deleted by a user. If there are errors associated with restoring data in your workspace, they are visible to Admins in Settings > Data recovery.

We are continuing to restore data for remaining workspaces, and will keep sharing updates here when available.
