re-elevate

Lift once more

To re-elevate is to raise something again to a higher position or status after it has fallen or been lowered.

The word appears in contexts where something previously elevated needs restoration: The committee voted to re-elevate the proposal to priority status.

It can apply to physical height or metaphorical standing.
