To reintegrate a deleted item into the scale, you can click the Undo symbol 
.
Hint: For calculating the results for the remaining items MAXQDA Stats practices list wise deletion for cases with missing values. Therefore, the number of missing values may decrease and more cases might be integrated into the calculation. As a consequence, the new value for Cronbach’s Alpha might be slightly lower than the original value displayed in the column “Alpha w/o item”.
