I can't create a new BackOffice Manager.

The Business Owner is the only user who can give an employee BackOffice access. If you don’t see ‘BackOffice Manager’ when adding/editing an employee, you are not signed in as the Business Owner.

1. Log out of BackOffice.
2. Log back in as the Business Owner.

I accidentally deleted an employee.

Employees cannot be undeleted. If you delete an employee, manually add them back to the Staff List.
