Audit log and trash

Audit helps organization managers review events. Trash holds Pages and folders you own that you moved to Trash, so you can restore them or delete them permanently.

Audit log

Use Settings → Audit log to review organization events, newest first. The log shows fifty events per page; use View older events to page back and Back to newest events to return. Filter by actor type (user, agent, or system) to focus on who or what made the change.

Use the audit log when you need to understand what changed, who or what changed it, and when it happened.

Trash

Trash holds Pages and folders you own that you moved to Trash. As shown in the example at the top of this guide, the list shows each item's Type and Moved to trash date. When Trash is empty, it shows Nothing in the trash and Pages and folders you move here can be restored.

To trash a Page you own, open its Page actions menu and choose Move to trash. To trash a folder, open its menu and choose Move folder to Trash. Only the folder's owner can, and only if they own everything inside it.

Pages that other people own do not go to your Trash. In Shared with me, Remove from Shared with me hides a Page from your list without deleting it or changing anyone's access. Shortcuts in Pages use Remove shortcut. Neither goes to Trash.

Restore items

Pages can be restored for 30 days. Clicking Restore on a Page puts it back in its folder if that folder is still open to you. If its folder is gone, in Trash, or no longer open to you, the Page comes back at the top level of Pages.

A trashed folder appears as one row with Type set to Folder, not one row per Page inside. Clicking Restore on a folder reviews the destination and access first: keep its original location or click Choose another destination, then click Confirm restore and access. Pages that were already in Trash before the folder was trashed stay in Trash. See Folders for how folder access works when restoring.

Empty trash

Click Empty trash to open Empty trash? and permanently delete your trashed Pages and folders, including folder contents, versions, and stored files. Stored files may take a short while to finish deleting.
