## Viewing previously deleted staff

The system does not completely remove a staff member once they have been deleted. This is for auditing and record keeping purposes. You can view staff members which have been deleted and hidden on the staff page, and also on the booking calendar.

### Steps

1. Navigate to **Setup** > **Accounts & Security** > **Staff & Admins**
2. Select the **Show Deleted Staff** checkbox at the bottom of the table

2. Select the **Show Deleted Staff** checkbox at the bottom of the table, and then select the deleted staff member you wish to restore (they will appear greyed out)
