Trash

Trash holds deleted items: records, tables, views, folders, notes, files, and forms. In the cloud, items stay in Trash for 30 days. On a self-hosted installation, Delete forever removes the item right away.

The new layout is rolling out. A workspace that has not switched yet may still show the older layout with spaces.

Open Trash

1. Select Trash in the sidebar.
2. You see the deleted items you can access.

Find an item

1. Type in Search trash to find an item by name.
2. Open the All types menu to show only one kind, such as Records or Notes.
3. Open the Deleted by menu to show items one person deleted.

See item details

1. Select an item to open its preview.
2. The preview shows who deleted it, when, and how many days are left.
3. It also shows where the item will be restored.
4. Select Open original location to see where the item was before.

Restore an item

1. Select the item, or select several items.
2. Select Restore.
3. A message appears at the bottom right. Select Undo to reverse the restore.

If the item’s parent folder is also in Trash, restore the parent first. Or choose a new location: select Choose a new location.

Delete items forever

1. Select one item, or select several items.
2. Select Delete forever.
3. Read the count in the confirmation. Then confirm.

In the cloud, the item is hidden right away. It is removed after 30 days. On a self-hosted installation, it is removed right away. You cannot undo Delete forever.

To remove everything at once, select Empty Trash. Check the item count before you confirm.
