Recycle Bin for Deleted Pages and Attachments

Thursday, July 29, 2010

A small change made today makes it a bit simpler to keep your EditMe sites tidy. In the past, EditMe used the standard wiki practice of marking pages and attachments as deleted and requiring a separate administrative action to actually delete the page or attachment. Feedback has told us this is confusing to all but wiki die hards. So we decided to mimic the file systems all computer users are used to.

Pages that are marked deleted now disappear from navigation, Index, Search, you name it. When you delete an attachment, it also goes away. Deleting a page or attachment now has an immediate visual result - the thing you marked as deleted goes away.

The Deleted Pages screen has been renamed to the Recycle Bin, and now includes the ability to Restore pages and attachments that have been marked deleted along with the ability to delete items permanently.
