  2. Using the recycle bin

Documents can be deleted, destroyed or restored in a recycle bin.

The app has a multi-level and rights-protected security system to protect documents from unplanned deletion.

A document is first deleted and can then be found in the recycle bin of the vault. Here, users can decide to restore the document or delete it permanently. For increased security in the company, separate responsibilities for deletion and destruction can be created via rights and user groups.

Currently, documents can only be deleted individually in the app.

Documents that are in a retention period cannot be deleted or destroyed, regardless of any rights.

Delete document

For this function you need the rights Documents – Read and Documents – Delete. You currently configure this in the Amagno Client for Windows.

    Select a document in a file list, e.g. in the Documents area of a vault or in search results, by simply clicking or tapping on it.

    Select the action button by pressing or tapping and holding.

  3. 3.

    Select Delete from the menu that appears.

  5. 5.

    Refresh the file list. The document will be marked as deleted in red in the lists until then.

The document can now be permanently deleted or restored in the recycle bin.

If the deletion of a file is not available in the menu, it is e.g. in a current retention period or is currently being processed or edited by the app or the user.
