Restoring deleted files with Nextcloud

I thought I had lost a file and would need to restore a backup, but Nextcloud made my day!
The issue
I deleted by mistake one of my blog posts (actually the very first one), and wanted to restore it.
Fixing it
I initially wanted to restore a backup, but I had a quick look at Nextcloud's web UI, to see whether I could spot something (I rarely use the UI).
Then I remembered that there was a Deleted files folder, and while looking into it, I saw the file I was looking for!
I was about to download the .md file manually, but then I saw a "Restore" icon, which I used, and surely enough, this put the file back where it was originally!
