Is there a way to reverse a flag decision once a moderator has handled the flag?

Sometimes moderators make a mistake and the user is upset. It would be handy if we could change our flag decision and show the post again. I haven’t been able to find a way to handle this.

Thank you!

Hello littleviolette,

AFAIK there isn’t currently a way that you can undo/change a flag after you’ve handled it in the Review Queue.

However, as a moderator, if the post is still visible in the topic you can unhide the post my going to the post admin 🔧 and pressing the ‘Unhide’ option
