Deletion in Flexible Notebooks

If your business policy has been set to allow deletion, you will be permitted to delete resources in File Cabinets and in Flexible Notebooks. There are some rules that pertain to deletion in Flexible Notebooks:

  • You must be a contributor of the resource that you wish to delete.
  • A resource can be deleted from a Notebook only if it is not final, or signed, and does not have pending signatures.
  • A Page can never be deleted, but its content can be deleted so that the page can be reused. Note that the Page content can not be deleted if it contains any signed or finalized entries.
  • Sections and Notebooks can be deleted only if they are empty and are not signed or finalized.

If these requirements are not met, you may not see the Delete option on your menu.

How to delete content in the Notebook:

  • Pages: To delete all the content from a Page, right-click on the Page and select Notebook > Delete Page Content. Note that the Page content cannot be deleted if the Page contains any signed or finalized entries.
  • Sections and Notebooks: To delete an empty Section or Notebook, right-click on it and select Set Edit > Delete.
  • Entries: To delete an entry, right-click on the entry and select Edit > Delete.
