How to download from server previously deleted file without restoring the whole project

One of my teammates uploaded his version to server overwriting some of the other teammatres files. We rolled back to previous revision. It was a couple of months ago and we dont have a hardcopy. Is it possible to downloaded a couple of deleted files, or deleted folder without having to rollback to old revisions? Is it possible to finbd delted assets in Asset view in Unity Dashboard?

 

Hi @bugaj! Yes, from the Assets view of the Collaborate section in the Developer Dashboard, you can navigate through your project until you find the assets that you'd like to get an older version of. Then, on the right side of the page, you can pick from its timeline which version of the asset you'd like to download.

For now, it's only possible to download one asset (along with its associated .meta file) at a time from the site. We know it's a hassle and will work to make this process simpler. Let me know if you run into any issues.

 

Hi Ryan, my problem is we deleted the asset in one of our revision, now it doesnt show in the assets view in developers dashboard(sorry i have written from my other profile, this is work profile, the other is personal|)

 

Oops, sorry that I misunderstood. And no worries about replying with a different account. You're right that currently there isn't a way to download from the Dashboard any currently deleted assets and this is something that we plan to fix.

In the meantime, you can open a Support ticket with us by going to the Collaborate->Support section of the Dashboard, mention my name along with name the asset, its file path and the commit that it was last in. We'll be able to grab the asset that you're looking for.

 

Thanks, ill be sure to do it next time we run into this issue. Luckily we managed to fix that using our hardcopy
Do you have any insight on when is that feature going to be implemented? will be implement on Colaborate globaly, or only with newer versions of unity?

 

Since Collaborate is now a package in the Unity editor, fixes and new features could be implemented very quickly. This 'deleted file is invisible on the dashboard' issue is one that I would like to see fixed quickly

 

Any sign of adding this as a feature, ever?

 

Who knows? I have given up on Collaborate.

 

A year later and still no way to get deleted files back? Seems like a pretty basic Git functionality that is lacking here. A shame really.

 

Need that feature
