Overview
This node integrates with the Outline knowledge base API, allowing users to perform various operations on different resources such as documents, collections, groups, comments, attachments, and more. Specifically for the Document - Restore operation, it restores an archived document back to an active state. This is useful in scenarios where a document was previously archived (soft-deleted or hidden) and needs to be made available again.
Practical examples:
- Restoring a document that was accidentally archived.
- Reinstating important documentation after review or update.
- Automating workflows that manage document lifecycle states.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Document ID | The unique identifier of the document to restore. |
Output
The output is a JSON object representing the restored document's details as returned by the Outline API. It typically includes metadata about the document such as its ID, title, content, status, timestamps, and other relevant fields describing the document state after restoration.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Outline knowledge base API.
- The node uses HTTP POST requests to communicate with the Outline API endpoints.
- No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication setup.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Providing an invalid or non-existent Document ID will result in an error from the API indicating the document could not be found.
- Attempting to restore a document that is not archived may either return an error or no change, depending on the API behavior.
- Network or authentication failures can cause request errors.
Error messages and resolutions:
"Document not found": Verify the Document ID is correct and the document exists."Unauthorized"or authentication errors: Check that the API key credential is valid and properly configured."Failed to restore document": Ensure the document is currently archived and the user has permission to restore it.
