add-on#

A package that extends Plone or Volto. Plone Recycle Bin consists of the plone.recyclebin Python package and the @plone/volto-recyclebin JavaScript package.

Plone#

The open-source content management system extended by this add-on.

portal-relative path#

A path resolved from the Plone site root, such as news/archive. Restore operations accept this form for an alternate destination.

purge#

Permanently remove an entry from the recycle bin. The add-on cannot undo a purge.

recycle ID#

A UUID assigned to a top-level deleted content tree. REST endpoints use it to identify the recycle-bin entry independently of the content item's ID.

restore ID#

A UUID assigned to a descendant of a deleted content tree. It lets the REST API restore one descendant without restoring the top-level entry.

retention period#

The number of days an entry is retained before it becomes eligible for opportunistic expiration. A value of 0 disables automatic expiration.

ZODB#

The object database used by Plone. The add-on stores detached persistent content objects in the same site's ZODB.
