Accepted, Not Yet Planned

Update: Though this is a great idea, this specific request is currently not planned based on our program planning and prioritization of all Tridion Sites ideas for early 2018. We may revisit this and other great ideas based on more information and additional votes.

Recover Deleted Items

Actually, the question would be "How to Restore Deleted Items?"
There are several creative ways to do it but would a concept of "Recycle Bin" within the CME be helpful?

With that, Users could recover intentionally and inadvertently deleted items with their same tcm URI.

  • It might have been the same extension that Mark mentioned, but one recycle bin idea I've seen was based on some naming convention ("x" or "delete" or something) that would mark items to be moved to a specific folder.

    A lighter version of a full "recycle bin" would be a way to reduce the visibility or otherwise "archive" items within the Content Manager. The idea is that as an editor you wouldn't want to see, change, or publish certain items but you'd still like to keep the content or be able to restore these items if needed.

    It's related to the idea of "expiring" content. You might want a different set of users to have the ability to restore items (through a privilege rather than some kind of workflow).

    For the questions:

    * Where used visibility -- maybe but with a caveat similar to the "in old versions" label (but "item archived" instead)

    * Original location depends on if it still exists, so maybe that'd be desired by default, if the WebDAV url exists, otherwise prompt the user

    * Same title in the same location is similar to localizing or unlocalizing an item that creates a naming conflict (tridion.stackexchange.com/.../46). I don't see an easy way to handle that without checking all possible names in the history of all items for a given folder, so maybe it would be best as a prompt.
