The system allows for granular selection. If you only need a single file, check that file and click **Restore Now**. The same logic applies to folders. For example, to recover the folder of a specific plugin, navigate through the structure to `wp-content/plugins`. Check the desired plugin folder and click **Restore Now**.

### Finalise the recovery process

In the confirmation window, click the **Restore** button once more.

This simple process ensures the continuity of your online project.
