How Do I Delete a Single Library Entry?

When content is no longer relevant to your organization, Loopio makes it easy to delete. Deleting content that can’t be updated is a great way to ensure nobody on your team ever uses inaccurate or stale information on your RFP responses.

 

Permissions Required:

  • Library, Level 2 (Read & Write) permissions are required to delete Library Entries you created
  • Library, Level 3 (Full Access) permissions are required to delete any Library Entry
 

Note: Once a Library Entry has been pulled into a Project, it is stored independently. Therefore, if you delete a Library Entry that is currently used in a Project, it will not affect the Project.

Option 1: Deleting Directly From the Library Page

  1. From your Library page, locate the Library Entry you'd like to edit and click on the Entry Actions (three-dot) menu in its upper right-hand corner, then select Delete Entry

Option 2: Deleting From the Library Entry's View Page

  1. Locate the Library Entry you want to delete and click the Entry Actions (three-dot) menu in its upper right-hand corner, then select View Entry

Option 3: Deleting from the Edit Page of a Library Entry

  1. Locate the Library Entry you want to delete and click the Entry Actions (three-dot) menu in its upper right-hand corner, then select Edit Entry

  2. Click Delete
  3. Click Delete in the confirmation message 

To prevent you from deleting current content, a warning message will be displayed if the Library Entry you are deleting is being used in an open Project. You’ll need to click Confirm before the entry will be deleted.

Restoring Deleted Entries

If a Library Entry is deleted accidentally using option 3 (deleting from the Edit Page of an Entry), Loopio gives you the opportunity to immediately restore the content. After an entry is deleted, a green message box will immediately appear. To restore your Library Entry, click Restore it here. Once this message disappears, the Library Entry can no longer be restored.
