Items that were deleted can now be restored to their place in the repository! The Main Menu now includes "Recycle Bin" which takes you to a list of your deleted items. Those with permission can view and restore items deleted by other users as well.
Instructions for restoring deleted items...
To restore one or more deleted items, do the following:
Navigate to the Recycle Bin area via the Main Menu.
Locate and check the box of the file(s) you would like to restore. Please note that child objects cannot be restored until their parent folder is first restored. In the image below, you can see the child objects are greyed out.
Click the Restore button and wait for the "Success" notification.
Now your files are returned to their original locations!
Object Delete Update
With the inclusion of the Recycle Bin, deletion now requires the user to provide a comment for their decision to delete. This provides important context for past decisions, helps narrow down results when searching for an object to restore, and gives users an opportunity to confirm their actions.

Navigate to the Model area and browse for the item you want to delete.
Right-click the item in the Tree, and click Delete Object.
Alternatively, check the item's box in the Contains section, then click the Delete button on the bottom-right.
In the resulting dialog box, provide a brief message that provides context for your decision.
Click Delete. Your item will appear in the Recycle Bin should you wish to restore it to your repository.
