Deleting a Catalogue Record
Deleting a catalogue record in draft or in review, restoring it from the trash, and the records that cannot be deleted.
Only records in draft and in review can be deleted. A deleted record goes to the trash, does not appear on the public site and can be restored with the Show deleted filter.
- On the record's page, press Delete on the Status card. The row menu in the Publications list has the same action.
- Type a reason of at least 5 characters in the Reason (written to the audit log) field.
- Confirm.
The deletion and its reason are written to the audit log.
Restoring a deleted record
- On the Catalogue → Publications screen, tick the Show deleted box.
- In the record's row menu, select Undo delete.
The Undo delete button on the record's own page does the same. A deleted record cannot be edited until it is restored.
Records that cannot be deleted
- A published record cannot be deleted. Unpublish the record first.
- Archived and retracted records remain part of the scholarly record and cannot be deleted.
- Deleting a record that was published before also needs the catalogue publish permission.
- A journal record with issues cannot be deleted. Delete the journal's issues first.
To delete a journal issue together with its articles, see Deleting a Journal Issue.
