Deleting Content

Updated: July 17, 2023

Deleting Documents

Only users with "Edit" or "Manage everything" permissions can delete documents from a space.

To delete one or several documents, select them from the Content tab of the workspace, click on Delete and confirm. The documents are moved to the Trash tab of the workspace (available to users with management rights only) and do not appear in the workspace's content list anymore. Their life cycle state is now "deleted".

You can also delete documents using right-click on document from the Content tab of the workspace.

Managing Deleted Documents

Users with "Manage everything" permissions can access the workspace's Trash and perform one of the following actions:

  • Restore documents by selecting them and clicking the Restore button. Documents are moved back to the Content tab of the workspace and available to users. They get the "project" life cycle state, even if their life cycle state before deletion was "approved".
  • Erase documents by selecting them and clicking the Permanent delete button. Documents are permanently erased from the application. They cannot be restored. The relations to the deleted documents are deleted.
  • Empty the trash by clicking the corresponding button. All deleted documents are permanently erased from the application. They cannot be restored. The relations to the deleted documents are deleted.
