Случайно удаленная лекция

Здравствуйте! Как достать из корзины случайно удаленную лекцию.

Response from developer

Здравствуйте! Спасибо за высокую оценку. Чтобы вернуть удалённую запись, нажмите кнопку «Категории» (вверху справа) > «Удаленные» > выберите запись > «Восстановить». Это работает в Pro-версии или в бесплатной версии с расширением «Категории», если оно было установлено до удаления записи. Если так вернуть запись не получилось, всё зависит от того, как вы пользовались приложением. Если вы использовали облачное хранилище (Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud и т. п.), запись можно восстановить оттуда. Если нет, остаётся только последняя резервная копия устройства (если она есть). Важно: восстановление из резервной копии заменяет все данные на устройстве. Перед этим обязательно создайте новую резервную копию, иначе можно потерять последние данные. Как восстановить устройство из резервной копии: https://support.apple.com/ru-ru/HT204184

Not great

Can’t transcribe which is a massive flaw for me.
