Restore a workflow that has been deleted. You can only restore a workflow that was deleted within the last 30 days before Microsoft Entra ID automatically permanently deletes it.
Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.
