Remove documents from workspaces

Applies to MindManager used with Mindjet Catalyst.

You remove documents from workspaces in a two-step process. First you mark the document for deletion, then you destroy it. Documents marked for deletion can be undeleted.

If a document is linked to from another workspace, you can delete its link, but you can only delete, undelete and destroy the document itself from its originating workspace.

Members with Reader access for the workspace can not delete or destroy workspace documents.

Delete / destroy a document

The Delete function marks the document for deletion (but does not destroy it) and you and other workspace members will no longer see it in the workspace Documents list. Members can, however, view the list of Deleted documents. To remove a deleted document from a workspace you destroy it.

To immediately destroy a document in one step, select it, and then press CTRL+SHIFT+DEL.

Mark a document as deleted

• Right-click the document in the Documents list, then click Delete.

The document disappears from the Documents list of this workspace for all workspace members.

If a deleted document was linked to other workspaces, the links in the target workspaces will be shown as broken. You can go to these other workspaces to delete the broken links (see below). Broken links are automatically restored if you undelete the document in its originating workspace. They are removed if you go on to destroy the document.

View the list of deleted documents

• Click the Documents list View settings arrow , then click Deleted.

When viewing the deleted documents you can choose to undelete (restore) or destroy (permanently delete) the document.

Undelete (restore) or destroy (permanently delete) a deleted document:

1. View the list of deleted documents (above).

2. Select the document.

3. On the Workspaces tab, in the Document Options group, click Undelete Document to restore the document or click destroy Document to permanently remove it.

An undeleted document re-appears in the Documents list when the view settings are set back to All Documents. A destroyed document is permanently removed from the workspace for all members.

Delete links to documents

The Documents list may contain links to documents from other workspaces. These items appear as document names with the link icon. This icon shows whether the link back to the original document is active or broken . (The link will be broken if the document is deleted from its originating workspace.)

You can remove links to documents from your workspace Documents list by deleting the link. Deleting the link has no effect on the original document. You can delete either active or broken links.

1. Right-click the link in the Documents list.

2. Click Delete Link.

The linked document name will be removed from the Documents list.

Links to documents are removed automatically if the original document is destroyed.
