How to delete documents

In Litigation Ready, you can delete documents individually or in bulk.

Deleted documents are moved to the Recycle Bin, where they can be restored or permanently removed.

Deleting a document #

To delete an individual document:

1. Locate the document in your folder.
2. Click the X icon on the right-hand side next to the document name.

The document will be moved to the Recycle Bin.

Deleting Multiple Documents #

To delete several documents at once:

1. Select the documents using the checkboxes.
2. Go to Bulk actions.
3. Click Delete.

All selected documents will be moved to the Recycle Bin.

Recycle Bin and Retention Period #

Deleted documents are not immediately removed from the system. They are temporarily stored in the Recycle Bin, under the Extras section.

• Documents remain in the Recycle Bin for a defined retention period.
• This retention period is set by your organisation administrator.
• The duration can be configured between 7 and 180 days.

After this period has elapsed, documents are permanently deleted from Litigation Ready and cannot be recovered.

Restoring Deleted Documents #

You can restore documents that you have deleted by accessing the Recycle Bin.

To restore documents:

1. Go to Extras.
2. Select Recycle Bin.

You can then:

• Restore a single document by clicking the Restore icon on the right-hand side next to the document name.
• Restore multiple documents by selecting them, then choosing Bulk actions and clicking Restore.

Restored documents will return to their original location within the matter.

Permanently Deleting Documents #

If you want to remove documents immediately in your Recycle Bin and bypass the retention period:

• Go to Extras, then select Recycle Bin.
• Select one or more documents.
• Open Bulk actions and click Permanently delete.

This action will permanently remove the documents and they cannot be recovered.
