In QL2, deleting a piece of content removed it instantly and permanently, with no way to recover it. In Qompose, content can now be moved to a recoverable Trash first, giving you a safety net against accidental deletion. In this article, we'll cover how to move content to the Trash and restore it.
Trashing an item
Hover over the asset you'd like to remove, and click the trash can icon that appears
Alternatively, right-click the asset and select Remove
Please Note
You may see a confirmation message stating that this action "cannot be undone"—this message is inaccurate and is a known issue. Trashing an item here does not permanently remove it; it remains fully recoverable.
Accessing your Trash
In the Content Library, a permanent Trash folder now appears alongside the other default folders (Media & Templates, Datafeed, Ticker and Smart Folders)
Head to your Library along the left-hand side
Click on Trash
You'll now see a list of all trashed content, along with its type (Template, Video, HTML, etc.) and duration, just as it would have appeared in your Library.
Restoring an item
Hover over the item you wish to restore within your Trash
Click Restore
Upon restoring an item, it will return to its original folder location within your Library, exactly as it was before it was trashed.
Summary
With deleted content now held safely in Trash rather than removed instantly, you can trash and restore content with confidence, without the risk of losing it to accidental deletion.
