There is no “undelete” bulk action that I know of, so you’ll need to write a script for this and use the [Discourse API](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-api-documentation/22706). Everything you do in Discourse you can do through the API, check this topic to learn how [Reverse engineer the Discourse API](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-reverse-engineer-the-discourse-api/20576)

As instructed in the topic, if you check your network tab (in your browser’s dev tools), you’ll see that whenever the “reverse delete” button is clicked, there is a PUT call made to `/posts/<post-id>/recover`

So, if you have a list of IDs of the posts you want to “undelete” then you could do so by making successive calls to that end point.
