Darkroom uses an index file to keep track of the location of the .bdr files which comprise the groups in the templates section of the products and services module in Darkroom. If this file becomes corrupt, gets deleted, or is replaced it is possible to instruct darkroom to rebuild the index using the existing border group files on disk.

Symptoms
If you are missing your border or template groups but the .bdr files that correspond to the missing groups are still on disk you can use this method to get the border groups back in Darkroom.
