# Restore missing private balances

> Restore your private-balance view when a permit is missing or unusable.

![Portfolio with a masked private total, a Permit missing banner with a Privacy Center button, and token rows with masked amounts and a permit placeholder bar](https://mintcdn.com/fhenix/81IAw-QB_FKXEVbj/wallet/images/permit-missing.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=81IAw-QB_FKXEVbj\&q=85\&s=69dadb95bfea9ec94bc2754d3c284899)

Restore your private-balance view when a permit is missing or unusable. To open it, follow the **Permit missing** banner or an inline **Renew permit to decrypt** message.

## Screen components

1. **Masked total.** The private portion appears as a placeholder while any available public value stays visible.
2. **Permit missing banner.** Explains that a permit is needed to display private balances.
3. **Privacy Center button.** Opens the place to create or renew the permit.
4. **Token rows.** Masked amounts and a permit placeholder bar identify balances that cannot currently be displayed. The shielded, claim, and public labels stay in place without values.
5. **Dismiss control.** Closes the banner. It does not create or renew a permit.

## Steps

**1. Check the account**

Confirm your connected account and network.

**2. Open the Privacy Center**

Select **Privacy Center**.

**3. Create or renew a permit**

Create a permit if none is available, or renew the expired permit.

**4. Sign and return**

Complete the message signature and return to the portfolio.

> [!WARNING]
>
> A masked amount is not zero. It means the wallet cannot currently show that private amount. Do not resend a transfer only because its balance is hidden.
