Deleting and recovering documents

How to remove a document from the Documents list and how to get it back if you need it.

Deleting a document in Fluent is not permanent — it's moved to the Trash, where an admin can restore it or remove it for good.

Deleting a document

  1. On the Documents list, select the document(s) you want to delete

  2. Click Delete

  3. Confirm in the dialog

Deleted documents disappear from the main Documents list but remain in the Trash. You can delete up to 100 documents at once.

Restoring a document

Restoring is an admin action:

  1. Go to Manage Team > Trash

  2. Select the document(s) to restore

  3. Click Restore

The documents reappear in the Documents list in the same status they were in before deletion.

Audit trail

Every delete and restore is recorded in the document's activity timeline with the user and timestamp, so you can always see what happened.

Need to permanently remove a document? Contact your Fluent admin. Permanent deletion from Trash is available but should be used carefully — it can't be undone.
