Issue: Runbooks missing [Authoring status = In Edit] After Automation Account Restore

Solution:

If an automation account is deleted and restored, Runbooks remain in an "In Edit" status and can be recovered by creating a new Runbook with the same name to reconnect them to job history, allowing code recovery from job snapshots for republishing.
If you have any other questions or are still running into more issues, please let me know. Thank you again for your time and patience throughout this issue.
