Regenerate Stoplight Ids?

Originally posted by user designvoid to the Stoplight Community on 01/20/2023 at 10:08 ET.

Is there a way to regenerate stoplight IDs for elements if they have been deleted?

    Hello designvoid, the identifier is located in the settings of your workspace. You can grab a copy of it from there.

        I did some digging and the docs do say: "If you delete a file from Stoplight, and later re-import it, the imported file is assigned a new stable ID if one isn’t found in its contents."

        Assuming it's a git project, perhaps deleting the project and re-importing is the simplest answer here.

    This is not related to the issue - its not a file issue - it is the individual id that is assigned to elements within the API schema
