Move items to Trash instead of deleting them permanently, restore them within 31 days, or remove them for good. ## Contents 1. [What is Trash?](#what-is-trash) 2. [Supported Modules](#supported-modules) 3. [Moving items to Trash](#moving-items-to-trash) 4. [Viewing Trash](#viewing-trash) 5. [Restoring items](#restoring-items) 6. [Permanently deleting items](#permanently-deleting-items) 7. [Permissions](#permissions) *** ## What is Trash? Trash gives you a safety net when deleting items. Instead of removing something permanently right away, Mimeeq moves it to Trash, where it can be restored or permanently deleted by an authorised user. {% hint style="info" %} Items remain in Trash for 31 days, after which they are automatically and permanently deleted. During that window, you can restore them at any time. Need a longer retention period? [Contact us](https://mimeeq.com/contact/) to discuss your options. {% endhint %} *** ## Supported Modules Mimeeq supports two safety features across its modules — **Trash** and [Revisions](/platform/revisions.md). Trash lets you recover deleted items within the retention window. Revisions let you roll back changes to an item’s configuration at any time. The table below shows which features are available per module, along with Trash limits where applicable. | Module | Trash | Revisions | Max deleted at once | Max restored at once | | --------------- | ----- | --------- | ------------------- | -------------------- | | Products | ✅ | ✅ | 20 | 20 | | Option Sets | ✅ | ✅ | 1 | 20 | | 3D Scenes | ✅ | ✅ | 20 | 20 | | 3D Materials | ✅ | ✅ | 20 | 20 | | 3D Templates | ✅ | ✅ | 20 | 20 | | Galleries | ✅ | ✅ | 20 | 20 | | Collection Sets | ✅ | ✅ | 20 | 20 | | Embed Templates | ✅ | ✅ | 1 | 20 | | Price Lists | ❌ | ✅ | — | — | *** ## Moving items to Trash 1. Navigate to the module containing the item you want to delete (e.g. **Products**, **3D Materials**). 2. Select the item or items you want to remove. 3. Click the **Delete** action (from the row menu or bulk action bar). 4. Confirm the action. The item is moved to Trash — it is no longer visible in the main list, but has not been permanently deleted. {% hint style="info" %} Example: You accidentally send a product to Trash instead of duplicating it. You have 31 days to restore it before it disappears permanently. {% endhint %} ![Selecting an item and confirming deletion moves it to Trash](https://621103948-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FsqWfi8ifBhTdkvf1vOlY%2Fuploads%2Fs0k6uobaFymXk8jsJfMh%2Ftrash-article-1_1w3hifn.png?alt=media) *** ## Viewing Trash 1. Open the relevant module (e.g. **Option Sets**). 2. Click the **three-dot menu** in the top-right corner of the data grid. 3. Select **View Trash**. A modal opens showing all trashed items for that module, including details such as the deletion date, remaining time, and who deleted each item. ![The Trash modal shows all deleted items with their remaining time and deletion date](https://621103948-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FsqWfi8ifBhTdkvf1vOlY%2Fuploads%2FApZZAkL6cPKOy1RVO1JK%2Ftrash-article-2_1n0alw5.png?alt=media) *** ## Restoring items 1. Switch to Trash view (see [Viewing Trash](#viewing-trash)). 2. Select the item or items you want to restore. 3. Click **Restore**. The item is returned to the main list with all its original data intact. Restoration runs in the background — you can close the modal and continue working. Larger items may take a few minutes to fully restore. {% hint style="warning" %} Important: If an item was moved to Trash within the last few minutes, it may not yet be available for restoration. Wait a few minutes and try again. {% endhint %} ![Click the restore icon on any item to bring it back to your list](https://621103948-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FsqWfi8ifBhTdkvf1vOlY%2Fuploads%2FAC4EWUGiBUcINbFQKS44%2Ftrash-article-3_1ozop5f.png?alt=media) *** ## Permanently deleting items 1. Switch to Trash view. 2. Select the item or items you want to permanently remove. 3. Click **Delete permanently**. 4. Confirm the action. {% hint style="warning" %} ⚠️ Important: This action cannot be undone. Once permanently deleted, the item cannot be recovered. Only users with the Delete from Trash permission can perform this action. {% endhint %} *** ## Permissions Moving items to Trash and restoring them uses your existing module permissions — no additional setup needed. If a user can create or edit items in a module, they can also move them to Trash and restore them. The only dedicated trash permission is **Trash Permanent Deletion**, which allows a user to permanently delete items from Trash. You can assign it to any user in your account, but we recommend granting it carefully — permanent deletion cannot be undone. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://help.mimeeq.com/platform/trash.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
