    After clicking this button, a prompt will pop up on your screen, warning you that this action can not be undone. Once a campaign is canceled, it can not be started again. The only action moving forward would be to create a new campaign.

    Step 3: Pulling data from canceled campaigns

    At any given time, you can pull the data from previously deleted campaigns by looking under Past Campaigns within the Phishing Dashboard.
