Deleting a document record

Due to their nature, you cannot directly delete document record from onCourse, you 'mark' them for periodical deletion. This gives you the opportunity to review documents pending deletion to ensure that you aren’t getting rid of anything important.

To mark a document record for deletion, from the documents list view highlight a single document record. Click the cogwheel and select 'Move to Bin'.

When a document that is in the bin is highlighted, this cogwheel function will change to read 'Restore from Bin'. 'Restore from bin' will remove the record from pending deletion.

Documents marked for deletion are deleted when their 'modifiedOn' date is more than 30 days old.

ℹ️

Deleting a version of a document is different to deleting the document record entirely. Please see the 'History' section below for how to delete a version of a document.
