A user has deleted files or foldesr by mistake, what should I do ?

As an administrator, you can track the deleted elements and restore them.

Firts, go to your platform :


Consult historical from events

  • In platform management, go to EVENTS tab then click on 
  • Select filters such as "keyword" and specify word from the name of the file you are looking for
  • Type the word in the box "contains" 
  • Add another filter, here "ACTION"  and choose DELETION
  • Click on

➔ The list of deleted documents containing keywords will display. Spot or sort list by user.

You can also get more precise results by adding a filter by user, for this you need to add the filter "USER", specify it and pick user who deleted file.


Notes


  • For a faster search, please use "DATE" filter first and "KEYWORD" in last position.
  • The more filters you add, the more precise search will be.
  • Filter "keyword" is not case-sensitive.


Access trashes

  • In order to access trashes, click on "My Trash" from the up left menu.
  • From the up right section, click on  to access trashes from any user.
  • Spot wanted user and add it by  then click on  : User trash will display.

➔ Element will be restored in its original location.

  • Search bar is not case-sensitive.
  • You can restore many documents in the same action.  You can use CTRL on your keyboard to select manually more than one file. You can also use CTRL+A to select all, or combine CTRL+SHIFT to select lists.
  • If a file has versions, then versions will also be sent to trash in case of deletion. When restoring a file, you can restore versions too, and files will be restored with their versions as they were originally.
