A Facebook Page restricted or unpublished is a status on the Page. Visitors stop seeing it, or posting and messaging break, while your personal login can still work. Read the Page screen before you appeal the wrong asset.
When the Page is unpublished
Unpublished means people cannot see the Page the way they used to. The word on the screen is “unpublished” rather than “restricted.” It is still this Page, not a personal-profile ban. Screenshot the unpublished line, the Page name, and the review button. Request the review as an admin. Do not start a replacement Page on the same name while that review is open.
A hacker who removed you as admin is a different case: Facebook Page admin removed.
Open the Page as an admin
Use a computer if you can. Go to the Page, or to Meta Business Suite, and find the banner. Screenshot the words restricted, unpublished, or the policy line under them. Note whether you are an admin.
Request the review from that banner. In the note, name the Page, the date, and what stopped working. If you know a post or a former admin is involved, say that in one sentence. Submit once. Watch the email on the Page and on the admin profile.
Editors with a smaller role can see the banner and still be unable to request the review. Get an admin on the thread.
Three screens people mix up
Do not make a replacement Page on the same name while this review is open. Send the Page name and the screenshot. We file through Meta’s own official channels, open support chats, send follow-up emails, and push the case hard until it gets looked at. It takes a few days. Start a case on the contact page. How it works is the three steps. We never ask for your password.
