Card Vault+ user guide

Card Vault+ is a Trello Power-Up that protects your team from losing important card content. It saves snapshots of Trello cards in a secure backend so you can:

  • Recover deleted cards
  • Restore older versions when a description or checklist was overwritten
  • Browse saved versions without leaving Trello

Card Vault+ focuses on card recovery, not full workspace backup. It works inside Trello — you do not need a separate admin console.

Card Vault+ — protect cards, restore history, and open version history from the board dashboard

Important to know

  • Restore creates or updates Trello cards — Card Vault+ does not magically undelete the original Trello object. Deleted cards are recovered as new cards with the saved content.
  • Attachment files are not fully backed up — Card Vault+ stores attachment metadata (name, URL, type) but not the file itself in the current version.
  • Your data lives on Card Vault+ servers — snapshots are stored securely in a database, not in your browser cache.
