Accidentally deleted a note under Details under a profile

I accidentally deleted a note someone had added under Details under the main page of a person on my tree. I tried to go to recent changes to reverse it but it doesn’t give me the option. Is there a way to get it back on there?

    In order to restore information from the Change Log, you need to find where it was originally entered, not were it was deleted. I would guess that is the trouble you are running into. For example, if I enter a note then delete the note, the Change Log will look like this example I put together in the beta site:

    The Change Log is in reverse chronological order. Here I added three notes then deleted the first one. In order to restore the deleted note, I have to go to where I added it where it does say Restore, not where I deleted it.

    Unfortunately of the dozens of available filters to find one type of change, FamilySearch did not include Notes so you will have to scroll through the entire Change Log until you find that note.
