I've not tried this yet, so I can't confirm this will work, but does the Site Pages library present you with an option to restore the library to an earlier version. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/restore-a-shared-library-317791c3-8bd0-4dfd-8254-3ca90883d39a. I don't know if this does anything for site columns but a quick test in non-production library or site should confirm whether this is a viable option.
- Mark_GilpinOct 14, 2021Copper ContributorThanks for the info Steven. I did see an article about that feature and it was talking more about content being restorable, whether that is because that is all it does or not I don't know. We don't see that restore option on our menu in our Tenant (like many other useful things our admins don't want us to use) so I was thinking if someone knew for sure it would do what we need then I can ask for it to be activated. However I have just found out our admins are testing a backup and restore tool this week so at least we have a backup. They are going to test restoring the Site Page library this afternoon.
