How to restore a board from a closed private workspace
Asked by jules24:

Hello,

I was wondering whether it is possible to restore a trello board if it is not showing up under closed boards. My workplace has recently closed our workspaces and i missed exporting it. I followed Trellos Help Page but as mentioned, it does not show up under closed boards, also none of the others that were also closed are visible there.

Maybe someone has an idea on how to restore it:)

Thank you!

body: Hello thank you so much for your answer! If i remember correctly I must have been the admin since i created the board but for me it doesn't show up anymore under closed boards... I am currently trying to reach out to the former workspace owner, maybe he has it still listed under his closed boards:)

If it's not showing up in your closed boards drawer, this usually means:

* You're not an admin of the board OR
* The board was deleted permanently

Do you have the URL of the board so I can take a look and see what's happened?

body: Morning!:) Yes sure! Still waiting from the answer of the person that might have been the admin, I will keep you updated:) Thank you so much for looking into it!

So, I'd recommend reaching out to your employer to see if they can help you regain access to this account and access to the board.

Furthermore, *please do not share your personal or work email on community posts*. We don't want to have sensitive information available in the community.

If you need further assistance, you can raise a ticket with us at <https://trello.com/contact#>. And we can continue discussing this topic with you. I appreciate your understanding!

body: Hi Sal, thank you so much, no one can find it there so i think ill just give up:) Thank you for the reply and have a great weekend!

body: Hey, [@jules24](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5194947)! It's all good! The board still exists, but it's assigned to one of your work accounts. So, I think your admin could help you find the board by looking at your Trello work account. Or, as I mentioned, feel free to raise a ticket with us at <https://trello.com/contact#>, and we'll be happy to land a hand! I wish you the same!

body: Hey Sal, thanks for the answer:) I'll continue trying to find the admin until Wednesday, otherwise i will definitely raise a ticket, thanks a lot! And its good to hear that its still there, what a relief!
