When trash functionality is enabled for Communities, community
owners can manage deleted community files by restoring them to the
community or by permanently deleting them from the system.
Before you begin
You can tell if trash is enabled for your deployment by checking
if the Move to Trash option is available from
the More Actions menu for individual files.
If you see the Delete option instead of Move
to Trash, this means that trash is not enabled.
About this task
If trash is enabled, when community members remove files
from a community, those files are moved to the trash rather than being
completely deleted from the community. The files are held in the trash
until a community owner either deletes them permanently or restores
them to the community.Any community member can view the content
of the trash, but you must be a community owner to restore files from
the trash. Community owners can manage the trash content by checking
it periodically and emptying it when files are no longer needed.
Procedure
- To open the trash view, select Files from
the navigation and click View Trash.
Any
community member can access this view.
- Do one of the following:
Note: You must be
a community owner to perform any of the following tasks.
- To restore a file to the community, click the arrow next to
the file and select Restore.
- To delete a file from the trash, click the arrow next to the
file and select Delete.
When you select this
option, the file is permanently removed and the option to restore
it to the community is no longer available.
- To delete all the files in the trash, click Empty
Trash.
When you select this option, the files are permanently
removed and the option to restore them to the community is no longer
available.
