Click on the Recycle Bin to open it and click Restore to retrieve any elements again, or Delete them permanently.

Note: If you've removed any unwanted elements to the Recycle Bin, you should delete them permanently. When elements are removed to the recycle bin, they are only given a different status in the database and may conflict with equivalent newly created elements to give you an error message about a duplicate. If you delete the element permanently, you won't have these problems.

Multiple project tabs

 

You can easily open or create several projects at once and move between them. Settings and Users are common to each project to save you time configuring them for each project. Even though users are common to all projects, if users are not added to a group, they will not have permissions to the queries created.
