How can a manager recover previously removed topics for check-in conversations?

The selected answer is correct because restoring an archived topic in the manage topics section is the specific function designed for recovering previously removed topics in the system. This feature allows managers to easily access and reinstate topics that were archived, eliminating the need to lose valuable content or discussions relevant to check-in conversations.

This approach streamlines the recovery process and maintains the continuity of performance discussions. By archiving rather than permanently deleting topics, the system ensures that managers can revisit and utilize important conversation points when needed, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of check-in conversations.

Other options, while they may seem feasible, do not provide the same efficiency or relevance. Recreating a topic from scratch would require additional effort and time, and it might lead to discrepancies compared to the original topic. Requesting the IT department to retrieve it could lead to delays and is not the standard procedure for topic management. Creating a new topic related to a specific theme like work-life balance does not address the need to recover previous topics directly and instead diverts from the intended purpose of reinstating past discussions.
