What to do to restore a closed web part?

I received a call from a client today asking me in panic what to do to get a web part that he closed by mistake.
Web parts closed using the close button (the x button) they are just hidden but not deleted, that means that the web part loads on the page but will not be visible to the user. To be able to view a closed web part and restore the functionality is to add (?content=1) to the page url as shown:
http://yoursite/whatever/default.aspx?contents=1

The best way to remove a web part is using the delete web part option after you put the page in the edit mode.
