Deleting / Archiving an Application

Introduction

This section guides you on how to delete or archive an application on Devaito, ensuring these actions are performed securely and, when possible, reversibly.

Steps to Archive

1. Access Settings: Open the application card and click on the management options (e.g., dropdown menu "...").
2. Select Archive: Choose "Archive" to pause the application without losing any data.
3. Confirmation: Confirm the action; the application will change to "Archived" status.
4. Restoration: To restore, find the archived application and select "Restore".

Steps to Delete

1. Access Settings: Same procedure as for archiving.
2. Select Delete: Choose "Delete" for permanent removal.
3. Confirmation: Enter a confirmation (e.g., the application name) to prevent mistakes.
4. Immediate Effect: The application will be removed from your dashboard and all associated data will be erased.

Important Points

• Archiving vs Deletion: Archiving is reversible and ideal for temporary projects; deletion is permanent.
• Impact on Collaborators: Collaborators will lose access when an application is deleted or archived.
• Data: Make sure to back up critical data before taking any action.

Tips

• Use archiving to keep inactive projects without cluttering your dashboard.
• Double-check before deleting to avoid accidental data loss.
• See the "Version Management and History" section for backup options.
