Removing and restoring workspaces

When a workspace is not longer being used by the team, a workspace owner can remove it from the workspaces list, sending it to the recycle bin. If, later, the workspace is required once again, a workspace owners can restore it from the workspace recycle bin.

The workspaces recycle bin is separate from the recycle bin for each individual workspace, which is for data objects in that workspace that are no longer required.

Sending a workspace to the recycle bin is, in effect, archiving the workspace in its current state. This includes the workspace settings, permissions and data objects, including data objects stored in the workspace’s own recycle bin. Restoring a workspace reinstates its state at the time it was recycled; it is not necessary to add users back to a restored workspace or modify their permissions.
