+## Undoing room shutdowns
+
+*Note*: This guide may be outdated by the time you read it. By nature of room shutdowns being performed at the database level,
+the structure can and does change without notice.
+
+First, it's important to understand that a room shutdown is very destructive. Undoing a shutdown is not as simple as pretending it
+never happened - work has to be done to move forward instead of resetting the past. In fact, in some cases it might not be possible
+to recover at all:
+
+* If the room was invite-only, your users will need to be re-invited.
+* If the room no longer has any members at all, it'll be impossible to rejoin.
+* The first user to rejoin will have to do so via an alias on a different server.
+
+With all that being said, if you still want to try and recover the room:
+
+1. For safety reasons, shut down Synapse.
+2. In the database, run `DELETE FROM blocked_rooms WHERE room_id = '!example:example.org';`
+   * For caution: it's recommended to run this in a transaction: `BEGIN; DELETE ...;`, verify you got 1 result, then `COMMIT;`.
+   * The room ID is the same one supplied to the shutdown room API, not the Content Violation room.
+3. Restart Synapse.
+
+You will have to manually handle, if you so choose, the following:
+
+* Aliases that would have been redirected to the Content Violation room.
+* Users that would have been booted from the room (and will have been force-joined to the Content Violation room).
+* Removal of the Content Violation room if desired.
+
+
+# Make Room Admin API
+
+Grants another user the highest power available to a local user who is in the room.
+If the user is not in the room, and it is not publicly joinable, then invite the user.
+
+By default the server admin (the caller) is granted power, but another user can
+optionally be specified, e.g.:
+
+```
+    POST /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id_or_alias>/make_room_admin
+    {
+        "user_id": "@foo:example.com"
+    }
+```
+
+# Forward Extremities Admin API
+
+Enables querying and deleting forward extremities from rooms. When a lot of forward
+extremities accumulate in a room, performance can become degraded. For details, see 
+[#1760](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1760).
+
+## Check for forward extremities
+
+To check the status of forward extremities for a room:
+
+```
+    GET /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id_or_alias>/forward_extremities
+```
+
+A response as follows will be returned:
+
+```json
+{
+  "count": 1,
+  "results": [
+    {
+      "event_id": "$M5SP266vsnxctfwFgFLNceaCo3ujhRtg_NiiHabcdefgh",

+      "received_ts": 1611263016761
+    }
+  ]
+}    
+```
+
+## Deleting forward extremities
+
+**WARNING**: Please ensure you know what you're doing and have read 
+the related issue [#1760](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1760).
+Under no situations should this API be executed as an automated maintenance task!
+
+If a room has lots of forward extremities, the extra can be
+deleted as follows:
+
+```
+    DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id_or_alias>/forward_extremities
+```
+
+A response as follows will be returned, indicating the amount of forward extremities
+that were deleted.
+
+```json
+{
+  "deleted": 1
+}
