If the specific workbook ran before and if it was not deleted, there is a possibility to revert back to the state of the last execution. 

To do so: 

• Download the Job Trace for the last workbook execution.
• The resulting ZIP file contains the workbook definition in JSON format, called job-definition.json.
• Extract the definition file. 
• Revert back to the last state via our REST API for Update Workbook.
