Deleted by: the Holded user who deleted the item is indicated.
Description: here you will find the description of the item, to quickly identify it.
Category: indicates the Holded section to which the item belongs (Invoices, Contacts, or Products).

What type of deleted information can be recovered?
Depending on their deletion mode, there are two types of items in Holded:
1. Items that go to the trash (can be recovered)
The items that when deleted go to the Holded recycle garbage can and, therefore, can be recovered, are:
Contacts.
Products.
Documents (invoices, quotes, purchases, delivery notes, orders).
Depending on your plan, these items will be stored in the trash for a different period of time:
Copy interval | Maintenance time |
Premium / Advanced | 120 days |
Standard | 30 days |
Basic / Standalone Pro | 10 days |
2. Items that do not go to the trash (CANNOT be retrieved)
Excluding contacts, products, and documents, all other Holded items do not go to the trash and therefore are not recoverable. Do not delete any of these items unless you are certain that you will not need them later.
Some examples of non-recoverable items are projects, project tasks, accounting entries, employees, opportunities, activities, banks, payments, collections, remittances, bank transactions, contracts, expenses, sales funnels, activities, statuses before a mass product update, etc.
In short, any item that does not go to the trash, nor is it recoverable, nor can Holded provide a backup of it.
