Recycle bin
A safety net for wrong deletes: every deleted record is kept with its values and a snapshot, and a manager can restore it as a new record. Old entries leave after a period each company sets.
Tutorial 1
From delete to restore
Delete a contact tag by mistake, find it in the recycle bin, read its snapshot, restore it and open the record that comes back.
How-to 4
Find a deleted record
Look up a deleted record in the recycle bin by its name, see who deleted it and when, and read the values it held in its snapshot.
Restore a record and check the result
Restore a deleted record from its entry, open the new record, then check what a restore does not bring back, from links and chatter to files.
