Hi!
I accidentally hid a sentence I was planning to make a suggestion to - I did press the Hide icon and started typing in the reason, but then closed the popup (via X) without submitting anything. After that I can no longer see the sentence, even though I can see it exists, using the Advanced Search, but no actual sentence would be displayed for me.
Is there any option to restore the visibility of such items myself?
For the context, I had the following item in my quiz 受け which was mapped to an incorrect (in my opinion) sentence - 風邪で試験を受け損なった
In the sentence above the meaning is indeed 'to take' and not the one for the noun form of that (1. popularity, favour, favor, reception; 2. defense, defence; 3. agreement). It is also debatable if it is not the 受け損なう as such that should've been linked, but that's some different topic.
I’m sometimes able to see sentences I’ve hidden by searching for them on the sentences tab in the dictionary. Does that work for you?
Incidentally, I agree that the sentence isn’t a good example for 受け. 受ける seems like a better fit.
Searching them on the sentences tab in the dictionary doesn't work for me. I thought it might be possible to see them when viewing all of your sentences and filtering by "hidden from quizzes", but that doesn't seem to work either.
I know of one way of to get it back, but it's not practical for most people as it requires tinkering with the page source code. You'd also need another user or a second account.

Not 受け損なう?
If 受け損なう was in the dictionary I’d vote for it, but it isn’t, so I can’t.
The reason I say that is because I wouldn't agree it should be 受ける. 受ける is particularly when you verbify a noun, which in this case would be 受け. But the sentence is 受け, not the verb, with 損なう at the end. Two words. Therefore, 受け損なう. It appears for 受け simply because that's the word used for that sentence, but not the other since that one isn't part of that sentence.
I've seen a shorter variant of the sentence the OP was talking about, so I don't see much wrong with the sentence with respect to the word in question.

Unfortunately, the sentence disappeared from the Dictionary, too. I had it open while doing the quiz I faced it at, but since then had finished it. As a fun fact, I still can get that sentence in the quiz, but even though the answer has the same sentence in it, the sentences block is empty.

I can manage doing so. Also, I observed that I can see the same sentence in incognito mode, and even send a suggestion, even though I didn't try actually submitting it.

I would say that deciding which meaning (link) itself is correct is out of the scope of the current thread. 
(The remapping in the sentence can be done, the 受け損なう can be introduced, the meaning of 受け can be expanded to include the 'take' in it)
Nevertheless, thank you all for the input 
Alright, I'll explain how to do it, but only as a "last resort" if you never end up getting it back or you end up in the same situation again. Disclaimer: I don't think the element holds any account data, but if it does this won't work for you.
At a minimum you need to know how to access and navigate the Elements panel of the F12 Developer Tools Interface.
Here's the code of the element that holds the sentence in question: https://pastebin.com/2SAi0btU, you're going to need that in a bit.
This will be your starting point (sentence is hidden):

Now load any other sentences (doesn't matter which, or how many) and bring up the F12 Dev interface (Elements tab). This is Chrome, but it works similarly enough on most browsers. The element you want is the one with class="clear reibun" (should only be one currently loaded). There's a search function, but you can also use the "pointer" (left of "Elements").

Now, from those ... to the left you want to select "Edit as HTML" (or whatever your browser's equivalent is)

Then you just want to paste the code from the Pastebin. When collapsed it should look like this (the "id='rfull_86685..." element):

Now you can just give it a like (heart), reload the page, and the sentence should be back:

Once again, I recommend trying this only after every other option has been exhausted. Michael might unhide it for you. I'm just giving it as an option.
PS: You can do this entirely on your own, you just need a second account to copy the element. Would probably work from an incognito window too.
