Recycle bin for deleted categories and articles is now available in the Document360 portal. Now users don’t have to worry about accidental article/category deletions, as the item would be available in the recycle bin.
Users can restore the deleted item anytime in the next 30 days unless the article/category has been manually deleted from the recycle bin as well.
Accessing the Recycle bin for articles and categories
- The Recycle bin can be found above the category manager (left navigation pane).
- Click on the option to open the Recycle bin. This looks and works similar to the Recycle bin for files on the Drive
- Users can find the deleted article/category along with the information like Name, category path, deleted by, date modified, and date deleted
- Click on the individual column headings to sort the list
- If there are more items, the pagination would be used with 50 entries per page for easy navigation
