Undoing a milestone deletion
When deleting a milestone you can recover the deleted milestone by clicking "Undo" in the green pop up box that appears at the top of the screen after selecting "Delete".
Once the milestone is restored, a green dialogue box will pop up to confirm the success of the milestone’s recovery. Refresh the page to see the milestone appear again.
