Recovering deleted sprites?
I suggest there should be a function to recover deleted sprites because I lost some of my work by deleting a sprite.

Recovering deleted sprites?
you can do this with the edit button at the top, but if you deleted multiple, you can only recover one with the edit button.
the undo button might already be able to do this, but you need to right-click to access it

No support, it's already implemented. Use CTRL+Z if you have a PC, or use the restore button, screenshot shows where.

Edit: what? Ninja'd twice in 20 minutes??? ugh.

also it only restores the previously deleted thing
im pretty sure theres a duplicate of this but i cant find it so support, pretty helpful if someone deleted multiple things and wants to recover all of them

The button was pretty easy to find. You just click on the edit (pencil ✏️) button for more options.Though it's easy to miss, and if you don't know it exists when it happens, and you spent 1 hour or more making the sprite or something, then I can especially see the problem.

No support, it's already implemented. Use CTRL+Z if you have a PC, or use the restore button, screenshot shows where.Please no because it’s impossible to count how many people miss that, only realize the sprite is gone until they leave or until they’ve already deleted multiple things (and the restore button only restores the last deleted thing), due to how large the button has been made in 3.0.
Edit: what? Ninja'd twice in 20 minutes??? ugh.
Anyway, there should be a confirmation or sth, a better undo and redo system, they should hide the delete button behind right click again (hold down would be for mobile now), or just bring back the size of the old buttons before an update to 3.0 (older versions of 3.0 had a smaller size).
