Deleted Items Log

The Deleted Item log captures a comprehensive listing of all objects in the system that have been deleted. The log can be used to access each of the deleted item's audit trail history as part of the Audit Trail Logging mechanism.

The Audit Trail engine and logging framework (together with the Deleted Item Log) is disabled by default. To change the log settings, go to The Settings > Logging to enable this feature.

Note: The Audit Trail framework is only available in the Enterprise Edition.

Deleted vs Purged Content Items

All content items (Model, Discover, Present, publish, Formulate, Illustrate) that have been PURGED will appear in the deleted items log like all other objects. However, content items that have just been "soft deleted" will not be included. They, instead, can still be found in the content management system. Using the CMS explorer tools. and the option to see soft deleted items, users can easily find soft deleted artifacts if they wish to see and review their audit trail history.
