Introduction To The Recycle Bin

The recycle bin stores pages and modules. These can be restored to the site or can be permanently deleted from the recycle bin.

The Pages Window

• Pages are listed in the Recycle Bin by page name.
• Pages are listed in the order that they were deleted from most recently deleted to first deleted.

The Modules Window

• Modules are listed in the Recycle Bin by module title.
• Modules are listed in the order that they were deleted from most recently deleted to first deleted.

Restoring Modules and Pages

• Restoring a page will restore it to it's previous location on the site menu. All modules (including content) will also be restored.
• A module (including content) is restored to a selected page.

Deleting Modules and Pages

• Deletion is permanent
• Page deletion includes modules and content.
• Module deletion includes content.

Housekeeping:

It is recommended that unwanted pages and module are regularly deleted from the recycle bin. This will ensures that the Recycle Bin doesn't become so large that Site Administrators must search through a large number of modules and pages to find the required item.
