Runbooks missing [Authoring status = In Edit] After Automation Account Restore

Question

Hello All,

I accidently deleted an Azure Automation Account. I restore the account, but the Runbooks inside the accounts were not also restored.

They are listed in the manage section, but their Authoring Status is set to In Edit.

If I click on them to see the job history, the Resource ID is completely missing.

Has anyone run into this before, if so do you know how to resolve this and restore the runbooks.

I have tried the restore runbook option, but the runbooks are not found.

You can recover a deleted runbook through PowerShell scripts. To recover a runbook, ensure that the following conditions are met:

• The runbooks to be restored were deleted in the past 29 days.
• The Automation account for that runbook exist.
• The Automation Contributor role permission is granted to the System-assigned managed identity of the Automation account
