We had an incident where we needed to consolidate our designs files. As I was deleting old files I realized there was noting preventing me from destroying years worth of work.


We need a stronger system to prevent people from deleting files.

Examples



  • Lock a file from deletion

    -Warning popup to allow users to choose to delete or cancel the operation

    -Trash bin to see old files and recover them

    -Auto backing up of files at a set time interval

Preventing accidental deletion of PROJECTS is also essential.


In our org, we had an instance because there was no โ€˜are you sure?โ€™ warning popup to check when deleting an entire project with 20+ files got deleted with multiple people being the owners of said files so it caused a mass panic of who had what and who could recover what.


Another possible solution is needing approval to delete if you are not the owner of a file.


I completely agree - Iโ€™m hoping this ends up on a feature roadmap sooner than later.


It is unfortunate that you canโ€™t restore a deleted project, but fortunately the Files are not deleted, however, they are orphaned.


You can find them and move them to a new project if you go to Drafts > Deleted


WARNING: if your project has been deleted, Restore will try to put them into the deleted project (even if a new one is created with the same name!), so only use the Move To option.


IDEA: remove the Restore option!
