    Hey there (Georgiegirl78), you can find all the relevant steps to restore your docs on this resource, though let me quickly repeat for you below: 
     
    Spoiler

    #1. Sign in to Paper.
    #2. Click Docs.
    #3. Click Archived or Deleted.
    #4. Click the doc you'd like to restore.
    #5. Click the Restore button that appears

    Hopefully this answers your question & please do keep me updated on this discussion in case you need any further assistance in any way. Happy Paper-editing! 📝

Hey Johannessss. Thanks for reaching out about this. 

Sorry to hear this didn't work. :slight_frown:

Did you receive an error from the website? Did you not manage to locate the deleted docs? 

What happened exactly?

      There is a doc tab and a folder tab in your Home page. Follow the steps provided below to restore Paper folders

      Click "Folders" in your Dropbox Paper homepage.

      Then select "Archived". Please note there is no "Deleted" option in the Paper folders options, while docs have this option.

      Hope you get your docs restored! crossed fingers
