How to retrieve data connected to a widget that was deleted?

I have a form that is still open "Submit a photo of your planted tree" that I had a file uploader attached to for those who fill the form to submit their photo. We changed the uploader out once we found one that could accommodate multiple photos at once about hallway through it being open and all of the photo from the previous uploader that we deleted have vanished. We still have the submissions from the form but no access to their photos. Is there a way to retrieve these again? I tried to reinstall the uploader into the form but is the damage done?

Hi forestsontario,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Deleting form fields will also delete its connected data. However, you can still retrieve those images by reverting the changes you made to the form through the Revision History. Please note that reverting your form will affect the latest submission data. I suggest downloading your submissions first before doing the steps below. We have a guide on How to Download Form Submissions as Excel, CSV, or PDF.

1. At the top of the Form Builder page, click on the Timestamp under the title of the Form to open the Revision History.
2. Choose the version you want to restore the form to in the menu on the right side of the page.
3. Now, just click on Revert next to the version you want to revert it to. That’s it.

Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.

I will give this a go- Thank you!
