Facebook disabled my Page. How can I get it back?
The short answer
First find the notice about the Page itself. If Facebook cites a violation, open that decision and use review if available. If the Page only disappeared from your profile switcher, check your access: that alone does not establish a restriction. Someone with full control may also have deactivated it.

What this answer is based onWhat to do
Keep the Page URL, decision text and date. Your personal Facebook profile and business Page are different: identify which one is restricted.
- Open Facebook using the profile that managed the Page. If access remains, check its notices and Page Status. Menu names may vary.
- If the notice cites a violation, check whether you can request a review. Explain which decision you are appealing, why you think it is wrong and what supports your explanation. If no review is offered, open official Help below. We could not confirm one appeal form for all Page restrictions.
- No violation decision? Ask another administrator whether they can see the Page and changed its settings or your access. For signs of compromise, use hacked-Page recovery. A voluntarily deactivated Page needs the reactivation route rather than an enforcement appeal.
The situation
You manage a café Page. Facebook says it is restricted because of a particular post. Open the notice and save the decision. If a review is available, identify that post and explain why you disagree with the decision.
More examples
“Visitors see the Page, but I cannot switch to it”
The Page is missing from your menu, but a colleague still publishes.
What to do
Check management access. Task access through business tools does not necessarily let you switch into the Page on Facebook.
“An administrator deactivated it during renovations”
No violation is cited, and the administrator confirms the action.
What to do
Ask the administrator to open the settings and check for reactivation. Use the instructions for reactivating a voluntarily deactivated Page.
