How to restore pages/templates when reinstalling the app?

Did you accidentally uninstall EComposer, and when you installed it again, all of your pages and templates seemed to be gone? Don’t worry, they aren’t lost. When the app is uninstalled, EComposer moves your pages and templates to the Trash, so you can bring them back in just a few clicks.

Note: Pages and templates in the Trash are permanently deleted after about 20–30 days if you don’t reinstall the app, so try to restore them as soon as possible.

1. Find your pages in the Trash

Landing pages and theme templates (Home, Product, Collection…) now live together in one list, so you can restore all of them from the same place.

Step 1: In the EComposer app, open Build from the left menu and scroll down to the Pages & Templates tab.

Step 2: Click the Status filter and pick Trash. The list now shows only the pages and templates that were removed.

2. Restore and republish the page

Once you’ve found the page, bring it back to your list and make it live on your store again.

Step 1: Hover over the page you want to bring back and click the Restore icon (the circular arrow) at the end of the row. Repeat this for every page or template you need.

Step 2: Clear the Trash filter to go back to the full list, where the restored page shows up with the Draft badge. Click the pencil icon to open it in the editor.

Step 3: Check that everything looks right, then click Publish at the top-right corner of the editor so the page appears on your store again.

Note: Restored pages and templates are always unpublished. If you want them to show on your store, remember to publish them again (and reassign templates to your products or collections if needed).
