• Click the    icon

to inspect the contents of your Wastebasket. It lists its contents like any Folder page.

A basic set of actions is offered on the button bars for selected objects. In addition,

 

returns selected objects to the locations from which they were deleted, i. e. moved to the Wastebasket -- if these locations are still available. To place the selected objects in a different location,    and    them in a place of your choice.

 
 

transfers the selected objects into the Wastebasket of their respective owner
or
destroys the selected objects, if it is performed in their owner's Wastebasket.

 
Note:

Destroying an object in the owner's Wastebasket cannot be undone.

Objects in a shared Workspace are destroyed in three steps. BSCW allows you to undo the first two steps. The third step can be performed only by the owner of the object (typically the member who created it). BSCW thus assigns a clear responsibility for actual destruction of an object:

1. A member of the Workspace applies    to an object. BSCW moves the object to the Wastebasket of this member. The other members of the Workspace can no longer see and access the object, but the member who performed the    action can easily    the object from his or her Wastebasket.
2. The member of the Workspace applies the    action to the object in her or his Wastebasket. This will transfer the object to the Wastebasket of its owner.
   (If it is the owner who performs the    action, this second step coincides with the first.)
3. The owner may decide to    the object that now shows up in her or his Wastebasket or to    and    it in a safe place. Or the owner performs the    action on the object to destroy it irreversibly.

Special rules apply to deleting versions of Documents under version control (see section 4.8.6).
