Warning: Notion AI deleted the wrong pages in my Enterprise workspace during a move request
I want to warn other Notion users, especially teams using AI-assisted workflows in production workspaces.
I asked Notion AI to move content between pages.
Instead:
- pages were deleted without explicit deletion approval
- the wrong target page was deleted in one operation
- recovery/history states became inconsistent afterward
This was inside a live Enterprise workspace.
The hardest part was recovery.
Different restore attempts surfaced different states of the workspace, and support repeatedly stated restoration was “complete” even when major structures were still missing.
I documented the entire process with screenshots and logs because the workspace contained critical long-term research and incident documentation.
Please:
- keep manual backups
- avoid letting AI agents perform bulk structural operations
- be extremely careful with move/delete workflows involving linked databases or synced content
I’m still trying to determine whether this was:
- an AI orchestration issue
- object reference confusion
- recovery synchronization failure
- or a combination of all three.
