Recycle
Overview
The Move to Recycle Bin function allows a user to remove a file from the staging and production
servers and place it into the Recycle Bin, where from which it can be either restored or permanently
deleted at a later time. Files can be recycled by hovering over the file row in the Pages list view,
and selecting Move to Recycle Bin from the File menu. User levels 8-10 have the inherent ability
to send files to the Recycle Bin, though administrators can grant this ability to user levels 1-7 on a
per-user basis if desired.
For more information concerning the Recycle Bin itself, including restoring content, visit the
Recycle Bin page.
When a file is moved to the Recycle Bin, derivatives on the production server or any publish targets
are subsequently permanently deleted. If content is restored from the Recycle Bin, it must be
republished to make the content available on the web site again. Files that are locked to another
user or pending a user's approval cannot be recycled. An administrator needs to check in a page
that is locked by another user before it can be recycled.
If the Recycle Bin is not configured for a site, then files can only be permanently deleted rather
than recycled. Additionally, files that reside on a production target as well as directories cannot be
recycled; they can only be deleted. More information on deleting files or directories can be found on
the Delete page.
