Deleting in Automize has a safety net. When you delete an item it is not destroyed straight away – it moves to the Trash, where you can restore it if you change your mind. Only a permanent delete removes it for good.
1. Delete an item (move to Trash)
- Select the item.
- Choose Delete. The item, and everything inside it, moves to the Trash together.
A few things to note:
- You need write (Editor) access to delete an item.
- You cannot delete a locked item – unlock it first.
- Deleted items disappear from your normal lists but are not gone yet.
If you only want to switch something off temporarily, disabling it is usually a better choice than deleting.
2. Restore from Trash
Open the Trash, find the item, and choose Restore. The item – and everything that was deleted with it – comes back to your workspace exactly as it was, as a single set.
3. Permanent deletion
Permanent deletion (Delete forever) removes an item and its data completely. This cannot be undone. It happens in three ways:
- Manually, from the Trash, when you choose Delete forever.
- Automatically, when an item has been in the Trash for 30 days.
- As part of a data-erasure request, where information must be removed for compliance.
