Who can delete content from Air?
👨👩👧👦 Supported on any Air plan
✏️ Anyone that has edit access to a workspace, library, or board
🚨 Choosing to delete a board, asset or file may lead to disabling live associated share links and/or content collection forms. Comments, annotations, and versions associated with content contained within the workspace may also be permanently lost.
In this article we discuss deleting content from your Air workspace. Use the delete from workspace button when you want to efficiently organize and tidy up your workspace, ensuring that only relevant and necessary content is retained. This helps you maintain a clean and focused working environment, enabling you to stay productive and easily locate the information you need. With the ability to delete content, free up storage space, effectively manage your files and assets, and maintain an organized and efficient workspace within Air.
