The Recycle Bin – a safe place for your deleted items

The Recycle Bin – a safe place for your deleted items

Last update: Monday, Aug 25, 2025

With the introduction of the Recycle Bin in Contractify, we’re giving you extra security and control over your documents, contracts, and emails. From now on, deleted items won’t be permanently removed right away — instead, they will remain in the recycle bin for 30 days. This gives you the chance to easily restore mistakes.

How does it work?

  • Delete
    When you delete a document, contract, or email, a clear pop-up will notify you that the item has first been moved to the recycle bin.


  • Find it back
    You can easily find the recycle bin in the navigation menu. Here, deleted documents, contracts, and emails are neatly organized into separate categories.


  • Reactivate
    Select one or multiple items in the recycle bin and choose the “Reactivate” option at the bottom. The item will then automatically be placed back in its original location, as if it had never been deleted.


  • Permanently delete
    Items remain in the recycle bin for a maximum of 30 days. After that, they are permanently and irreversibly deleted.

Why this is useful

The recycle bin acts as a safety net. If you accidentally delete a contract or an important document, you don’t have to worry anymore. With just one click, you can bring it back — ensuring your data is never truly lost.
