I've opened the Trash Bin and see its content, but I don't see the "Restore" action on assets in it

If you can see the "Trash Bin" tab and all assets inside the Trash Bin node, but you're missing the specific menu entries for the Trash Bin, then the function hasn't been configured correctly on your system. Please contact a technical administrator who can take a look at the configuration.

I see the Trash Bin in the tree, but I can't see any assets in it

If you can't see assets inside the Trash Bin, then the Trash Bin is either empty or you're missing permissions to see assets inside it. These have to be set by a power-user in the Advanced UI.

They are local permissions on the root collection of the Trash Bin. The root collection is not visible in the Nova UI, only its content is shown.
