+Here we will explain how to restore files using the web interface functionality. Your first step should be to navigate to the bin folder in the data browser (see screenshot below). Files that have been deleted from your Home Drive directly will be visible in the bin, files deleted from folders in your Home Drive, or from your Team Drive or Projects will generate a folder in the bin, corresponding to their origin (again, see the screenshot).

+As your second step, you should navigate to the file(s) you want to restore. Once you select the files you wish to restore, you can click on the restore icon on the top part of the data browser, as seen in the screenshot below.
+{{ :rdms:webapp:rdms_trash_2.png?direct&800 |}}
+The RDMS will open a new window and ask you for additional information. The first window asks you to specify where you want the deleted file to be sent, after it is restored. You normally would want the file to be restored in its original location, but should you wish to have it restored in a different folder, this window is where you want to specify where.
+{{ :rdms:webapp:rdms_trash_3.png?direct&800 |}}
+Once you have chosen a destination, whether it is the original one or a new destination, you can scroll down to press the //Next >// button to move on to the next window.
+{{ :rdms:webapp:rdms_trash_4.png?direct&800 |}}
+The RDMS will then display a summary of the file(s) to be restored and where they are being restored to. Please check that the information is correct before proceeding. If all information is correct, scroll down to select the last option before restoring the file.
+{{ :rdms:webapp:rdms_trash_5.png?direct&800 |}}
+Here, the RDMS will give you the option to //Keep the current permissions// or also //add permission of a new location//. If you are **restoring the file to its original location**, you can simply choose to **keep the current permissions**. If you wish to **restore the file in a new location**, it is probably best to **add the permissions of the new location** as well. In this case, permissions refer to who can access the file in the location it will be restored in. Should you choose to move the file to a new location and not add the permissions of said new location, then be aware that some users might not be able to see or access the file. Click //Ok// once you are done and wish to proceed.
+{{ :rdms:webapp:rdms_trash_6.png?direct&800 |}}
+Finally, if you choose to proceed, the RDMS will check one last time if you are fine with restoring the file. If you choose //Yes//, then the file will be moved out of the bin and into the destination folder you specified.
+{{ :rdms:webapp:rdms_trash_7.png?direct&800 |}}
+You can now go back to the data browser and find the restored file there.
