Restoring Metadata
Metadata restore jobs allow you to recover metadata of deleted objects as well as to restore metadata to another organization so that metadata of the object you want to restore matches metadata of the object in the target organization. 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.
- If you want to restore the password policies, restore the ProfilePasswordPolicy metadata file first. For more information, see Salesforce Documentation.
- Reports and dashboards are also types of metadata that can be restored using this type of restore job.
