We have made significant enhancements to our folder management capabilities, including a quick 2-step process to easily delete folders, eliminating the cumbersome steps previously required to delete folders containing documents.
Previously, when users wanted to delete a folder that contained documents, they had to follow these steps:
- Delete documents: Users had to manually delete each document within the folder.
- Permanent deletion: Users then needed to navigate to the 'Deleted' tab to permanently delete each document inside the folder.
- Delete the folder: Only after completing the above steps could users delete the folder itself.
This multi-step process was time-consuming and often confusing for users.
Key benefits of the simplified process:
- Direct folder deletion: Once the documents inside a folder are deleted, the folder can be deleted immediately without any additional steps.
- Restoration of documents: Documents that have been deleted from the folder can still be restored from the 'Deleted' area. However, users will need to specify a new location for the restored documents since the original folder no longer exists.
New steps to delete documents:
Delete the documents inside the folder:
- Navigate to the folder containing the documents you wish to delete.
- Select all of the documents.
- Select the 'Delete' action.
Delete the folder:
- Once the documents are deleted, you can now delete the folder directly without any further steps.
Restore documents if needed:
- Go to the 'Deleted' tab to view and restore deleted documents.
- Select the documents you want to restore and choose a new folder location for them.
