Last updated
The trash can tab displays the list of all the deleted content by any users in your MangoApps domain. When a user deletes any content on your domain, the content is first sent to the trash can as a 'soft delete.' As a network admin, you can choose to permanently delete or restore the deleted content. You can also set the preservation limit in the 'Advanced Setting' for the content in the trash can to be permanently deleted after the limit expires.
Only a network admin can restore deleted content in the trash can from the Admin Portal.
From the User Portal, only the feed creator, team admin & network admin can 'soft delete' the content from a public and private project or group or department. When a network admin or team admin deletes an item, both can choose to notify the feed creator that the content has been deleted via a notification and an email. Deleted content from unlisted groups and projects is displayed as ***** in the trash can.
