# Retrieve Catalog Item Metadata

In Service Catalog, when you delete an item from the Service Catalog Builder, it’s put into a deactivated state. You can retrieve a deleted item’s metadata by retrieving the metadata for all items in your service catalog using either Salesforce CLI or Metadata API.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;"><a href="https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.service_editions_reference.htm&amp;language=en_US" target="_blank">View supported editions</a>.</td></tr></tbody></table>

To retrieve all items, use this sample manifest file.

```

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>SvcCatalogItemDef</name>
    </types>
    <version>53.0</version>
</Package>
```

1. To use Salesforce CLI, run the command `sf project retrieve start --manifest <manifestFile>`.
2. To use Metadata API, include the manifest file in your metadata zip file.
