Deleted Contribute permission level and want it back

Question

I have been playing around with permissions on my Office365 subscription. I have accidentally deleted the Contribute permission level and now I am unable to restore or create another one with all the attributes of Contribute permission level.

Can anyone help me on this?

You can add a permission level on the top level site of a site collection. You can find this by going to Site Settings -> Site Permissions -> Permission Levels (in Permissions tab) -> Add a Permission Level. From here you can recreate a Contribute group.

Here's an article that has the default permissions for each level as well if you want to exactly recreate the Contribute group.
