Overview
You can select whether you want to delete a document in the menu bar.
Important difference: Remove vs. delete
Attention! There is an important difference between these two actions:
Removing a document from a collection
When you remove a document from a collection:
Delete only the link between the file and this collection
The file will no longer be displayed in this collection
The file itself remains in SV Documents DMS
You can still access the file via all other links
Delete document
If you delete a document:
Remove the document completely from SV Documents DMS
All links to other collections are lost
The document can no longer be retrieved
Authorisations: Who can delete documents?
By default, only owners can delete documents.
How to delete a document
Step-by-step instructions

What happens after deletion?
The recycle bin
The deleted document is automatically moved to the owner's recycle bin.
By default, you can restore it from there within 14 days
An administrator can configure this period individually in the account settings
Once the deadline has expired, the document is automatically deleted permanently
