There are two places a shared document may be deleted, from the Inbox and from the Document Viewer when the document itself is opened for viewing, however, deleting documents depends on the level of permissions the User has for the document in question;
If you are the ‘Owner’ of a document, you will have the required permissions to delete the document;
- Removes the document from the queues of all shared users.
- Deletes the document permanently.
If your User has 'View' sharing permissions for a document, you will have the required permissions to ‘Hide’ the document only;
- Removes the document from your queue only.
- All other users with sharing permission can still see the document in their queues.
- To view the document once hidden, ask the document’s owner to share it with you again.
- If you wish to ‘Hide’ a shared document, please visit the support section - here.
If your User has 'Edit' sharing permissions for a document, you can both ‘Delete’ and ‘Hide’ the document;
Please note: Once deleted, the document will be moved to 'trash' until it is deleted permanently after 7 days from the time of deletion, or if manually cleared by the user.
