I got a file removed or renamed notification. Do I tap Restore or Delete?

If Scriptation asks "Restore" or "Delete" when you open a cloud file, the file was renamed, moved, or deleted outside of Scriptation. The safest option is almost always Restore — it preserves your local copy.



This message appears when the file you're opening was renamed, relocated, moved to a sub-folder, or deleted from your cloud folder — outside of Scriptation, on your current device.


The purpose of the message is to alert you that Scriptation's locally-saved copy doesn't match what's now in the cloud, so you can protect your work.


Which option should I select?


✅ TIP: The safest option is Restore.


  • Restore — Scriptation creates a new file in your cloud folder using the exact version that was last saved locally. Your work is preserved.
  • Delete — Permanently deletes the local copy. Only choose this if you're certain a more current version of the file exists somewhere else.


After choosing either option, manually refresh your cloud folders by dragging your finger down in the File Browser. This forces a manual sync and shows the Loading Content message.



📝 NOTE: Seeing this pop-up over and over for the same file? See How to stop the Restore/Delete Pop-up from reappearing for the fix.
