Who can delete content from Air?
👨👩👧👦 Supported on any Air plan
✏️ Anyone that has edit access to a workspace, library, or board
In this article we discuss deleting content from your Air workspace. Use the Delete from workspace option 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, you're able to free up storage space, effectively manage your files and assets, and maintain an organized and efficient workspace within Air.
Deleting Items
Upon deletion, items are moved to the Recently Deleted page where they can be restored by users within the plan's designated recovery window. Users without edit access that attempt to delete items will be notified that they are unable to delete the items or remove the items from their current location(s).
🚨 Choosing to delete a board, asset or file disables live associated share links and/or content collection forms.
Deleting Libraries
Deleting a library from within the Library settings option in the sidebar menu within the Advanced tab will remove all boards, sub-boards, and assets contained solely within the selected library from the workspace. If assets appear in another library in the workspace, the assets will remain in those locations.
Users are prompted to enter the name of the library to confirm deletion. Libraries can only be deleted by the designated Library Owner.
How to delete a library:
Navigate to Library settings within the edit (three vertical/horizontal dots in the sidebar
Click on the Advanced tab within Library settings and select the Delete library button
Type in the name of the library to confirm and hit Delete
Deleting Boards
Deleting a top-level board from the sidebar or ellipsis menu in the board will delete the board itself as well as sub-boards and assets contained solely within the selected board from the workspace. If assets appear in another board in the workspace, the assets will remain in those locations.
It is only possible to delete a set of boards that all live on the same level (i.e., sub-boards living within the same parent board). Currently, it is not possible to select more than one top-level board from within the sidebar, regardless of access. It is also not possible to select multiple boards on different levels within the same hierarchy.
How to delete boards:
From the edit (three vertical/horizontal dots) menu of any board, select 'Delete from workspace'
💡 Try right-click to quickly reveal the edit menu or select the vertical or horizontal three dots icon!
Select Delete in the confirmation modal
Deleting Assets
Because assets are able to be placed in more than one location, users are able to remove assets from a board location while keeping the asset in its other locations within the workspace using the Remove from board function in the edit menu.
When choosing to fully delete an asset from the workspace, a notice will appear to confirm that the deletion will remove the asset from each location in the workspace.
How to delete assets:
From the edit (three vertical/horizontal dots) menu of any asset or file selection, select 'Delete from workspace'
💡 Try right-click to quickly reveal the edit menu or select the vertical or horizontal three dots icon!
Select Delete in the confirmation modal
Deleting Versions
Assets contained within a version stack can either be removed from the stack and kept as an independent asset within the workspace or deleted from the workspace as an independent asset and sent to Recently Deleted.
How to delete a version:
Open version toggle at the bottom of the asset page
From the edit (three vertical dots) menu on the version, select the Remove from stack option
Select the Delete option to remove the version and remove it from the workspace
