How to Enable the Trash Feature

Updated: October 16, 2020

The Nuxeo Platform has a trash feature: deleted document are actually not deleted but moved "in the trash", before being really deleted. See more information about this feature in the user guide.

Moreover, in order to be able to restore documents, you must provide a undelete transition from the deleted state to another state in the lifecycle.
