Restoring Metadata
Metadata restore jobs allow you to recover metadata of the deleted objects. For example:
- If you want to restore the connected app configuration, restore the ConnectedApp metadata file first. For more information, see Salesforce Documentation.
- If you want to restore the session settings, restore the ProfileSessionSetting metadata file first. For more information, see Salesforce Documentation.
