## Restore an archived question

`questions.restore(strquestion_id)  -> Question`

**post** `/v5/questions/{question_id}/restore`

Restore a previously archived question, reversing an archive.

This clears the question's `archived_at` timestamp, returning it to the
active state so it reappears in default listings and becomes editable again.
It is the inverse of the archive (DELETE) operation and is intended for
questions that were archived by mistake or are needed again.
