Restore a deleted reading list?
Hi,
I need help to restore the reading list, deleted by mistake. I have iCloud synchronised and the list has deleted from all devices.
I appreciate your help.
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

The reading list content is stored within the Safari Bookmark.plist file, so if you whacked the reading list, you will need to restore the /Users/yourname/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist from prior to the removal of the reading list content.
I would recommend that you quit Safari, and make a copy of your existing Bookmarks.plist so it is not overwritten (if too much time has elapsed, and you have added or removed bookmark content). Then launch Time Machine from your /Applications folder, select the preceding folder location in its Finder interface, and then navigate back in time to just before the reading list content was removed. Select Bookmarks.plist and click Restore. Launch Safari and revisit your Reading List.
