# Restoring Missing Setups After Moving Them Between SiteMaps

## Summary

Sometimes, Setups may disappear from the Explorer panel after being moved between SiteMaps. Consequently, the number of Setups shown in the Project Explorer thumbnail exceeds the number shown in the Explorer panel.

## Workaround

To restore missing Setups, Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS has to be started via a specific shortcut that has been configured to activate the extended functionality of the Repair tool. After running the Repair command, any orphaned Setups will be restored to a newly created SiteMap.
