based on codubee's comment, i think it is actually under control and the damage is being fixed

I noticed this in a few of my projects, fortunately I had backups but I'd just like to point out something I noticed, in every single one of them it was (as far as I noticed anyways) always only the costumes that it was switched to, the costumes that weren't visible weren't corrupted, anyone else notice that?

Is it technically possible to fully restore every single asset that disappeared during this incident ?
