Overview

If your inSync administrator enables web restore for you, you can restore data from inSync Web. If your inSync administrator disables web restore for you, you can log on to inSync Web, but you must use inSync client to start a restore operation. 

For restore, you can use Search to easily find and restore selected files. 

Procedure
