Alternatively, you also have access via the Office Online applications. To access, open the empower® Library side pane and open the folder tree. Then, scroll down to the bottom of the folder tree and click on the button Recycle Bin.

The recycle bin opens directly in the side pane.

The empower® Permission Concept also applies to the recycle bin. Therefore, users can only see content that they have been granted permissions for. If the you are the only one with permissions for an element, you are the only one who can see the element in the recycle bin.

Note

The button Recycle Bin is not available in the empower® Library in Excel. However, deleted content from Excel is added to the recycle bin. You can access this content by following the instructions above.

Note

In the empower® Web App, the recycle bin displays all element types regardless of the Office application.

Note

Depending on the setup of your empower® Environment, the recycle bin might not be available.

Note
