Recreating a Global Area accidentally cleared

Permalink
Hi everyone, I'm asking for help.

I have 5.7.5.6 installed. When setting up Multilingual, adding a new content section and copying pages from the old section I have bumped into issue many people are having: global areas on pages of the new content section are empty (although in the Dashboard, Stacks & Blocks, View Global Areas I could still see them when selecting new content section). For most global areas, I simply re-added missing blocks on pages and configured as necessary. Issue remedied.

But for one global area, I decided to experiment and in the Stacks & Blocks, I didn't misinterpreted the purpose of "Clear Global Area" button (the title seems misleading to me btw), thinking that it will clear its contents, and clicked it. That's how I learnt the hard way that it in facts DELETES the global area.

However, turns out that it only disappeared from Stacks & Blocks; but the global area per se continues to exist and do its work on pages, correctly within the new content section. Phew, at least functionality of my site is intact. But... it would be still nice to have it in Stacks & Blocks, because there I could change its permissions, for example.

So, the question is, how can global area in Stacks & Blocks be (re)created manually? Because usually it is created automatically on the first access of a page with $a = new Area('Area Name') in it. But what can I do in my case to get my global area back?
