    I’m not sure this is possible to recover unless you restore a backup of the instance.

    I a have backup package and Can get from Upper Environment. But If not have this option then loose whole objects. I am planning to integrate GIT with Appian . I think Appian support for GIT, if support then get proper versioning code and Release TAGs

    You can always plug you CI so that artifacts are pushed to git but that doesn’t protect you if you delete something in your dev environment that you never pushed.

      Recovery not possible, open a support case to check if Appian have any plans around this in upcoming releases.

      One way depends on your Backup policy - If you delete an object, but then restore from a backup taken before the deletion, the environment is restored to that earlier state, so the object will be present again. Raise a support ticket to Appian and have the environment be restored to the time before the deletion of object. Any other changes after deletion will be lost as a trade off though. 

      Happy to help. Even happier to optimize.

      I am doing changes in ON Prem environments then I guess no need to support form Appian team. I am planning to Integrate Appian to GIT(BitBucket) then get previous version code even if delete from Appian.,
