Coming back after cancelling
Reactivation buys back every priced Project at once, why a single Project cannot be reactivated on its own, and what happens if the set changes.
Before you start and expected result
Use a workspace whose subscription has been cancelled, and an account with permission to manage its billing.
The whole portfolio of priced Projects is bought back on one subscription, each at its own plan.
On this page
A cancelled workspace still holds everything it had. Reactivating is not buying a Project again; it is restarting the subscription that covered all of them.
The whole portfolio comes back together
When you reactivate, Blogged reads the Projects your workspace already owns, prices each one at its own plan and its own discount position, and takes the total as a single charge. Checkout shows one line, named for the number of Projects it covers, and the subscription is rebuilt into one item per Project after payment. The first invoice and every invoice after it come to the same subtotal.
The set is fixed before Stripe collects anything, so the amount you are shown is the amount for the exact Projects your workspace holds at that moment.
You cannot reactivate one Project on its own
Selecting a single Project and asking to buy it at a different plan is refused. The message names the plan that Project already carries and asks you to reactivate the exact portfolio first.
If the set changes while checkout is open
Reactivation is bound to the exact list of Projects it was priced against. If a Project is archived, restored or moved to a different plan between opening checkout and paying, the amount collected no longer describes what is being delivered.
That case fails closed. Delivery stops rather than applying a different portfolio than the one that was paid for, and after the retries are exhausted the new subscription is cancelled and the charge refunded automatically. Access stays closed the whole time. See when delivery cannot be completed.
The practical consequence is small: finish the reactivation before archiving or re-tiering anything, and if you do change your mind mid checkout, let it fail and start again rather than trying to force it through.
What reactivation does not do
- It does not restore a spent Free grant. That benefit is used once, and cancelling never returns it. See the Free grant.
- It does not recreate anything. Posts, topics, knowledge and assets were never removed by the cancellation.
- It does not change any Project's plan. Each comes back on the plan it was on.
If your blog stopped being served
A cancelled workspace stops serving its public blogs, and reactivating starts that again. A custom domain that you removed or repointed at your DNS provider after cancelling has to be pointed back. See custom domains.
