## I deleted some notes by accident and don't have a backup

If you know the `NOTE_ID` and have note history enabled you can run the command `restoreNoteRevision` from the command palette e.g. `restoreNoteRevision 66457326a6ba4adeb4be8ce05e37af0d`. Joplin will then confirm if the restore was successful and place the note in a "Restored Note" notebook.
If you do not know the `NOTE_ID` then you can find this within the Joplin sqlite database as the `item_id` within the `deleted_items` or `revisions` tables. It will require some manual checking of the `title_diff` and `body_diff` fields to check if the `ITEM/NOTE_ID` you are targeting is the correct one.
You should first take a copy of the database to avoid making any accidental changes in the live one.

## How can I easily enter Markdown tags in Android?

You may use a special keyboard such as [Multiling O Keyboard](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kl.ime.oh&hl=en), which has shortcuts to create Markdown tags. [More information in this post](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/android-create-new-list-item-with-enter/585/2?u=laurent).
