Plone Recycle Bin ♻️

Plone Recycle Bin gives site managers a recovery window after content is deleted. It preserves complete content trees, provides a management interface for Classic UI and Volto, and exposes the same operations through a REST API.

Use these docs to install the backend and frontend packages, recover or purge content, configure retention and workflow behavior, and integrate with the REST API.

Important

Permanently deleting an entry from the recycle bin cannot be undone. Test your backup and recovery process independently of this add-on.

• Learn how the recycle bin works and why it uses persistent per-site storage.

• Install the add-on in a Plone and Volto project.

• Delete and restore items through the user interface.

• Use the REST API reference to automate recycle bin operations.
