Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Restore Documents from the Trash Bin" mean in QuoteCloud?

"Restore Documents from the Trash Bin" in QuoteCloud means recovering documents that were previously deleted and moved into the Trash Bin so they can be returned to active use without recreating them from scratch.

How do I restore a single document from the Trash Bin in QuoteCloud?

Open the Documents area, go to the Trash Bin, locate the document you want to recover, and choose the Restore option for that item. The document will be returned to its previous location in your QuoteCloud workspace or to an appropriate location if the original folder no longer exists.

Can I restore multiple documents at once from the Trash Bin?

Yes. Use the checkboxes or multi-select controls in the Trash Bin to select several files, then click Restore to recover them all in a single action—speeding up bulk recovery for large cleanups.

Where do restored documents go — will they return to the original folder?

Restored documents are returned to their prior location in your workspace when possible. If the original folder or path no longer exists, QuoteCloud will place the restored file in an appropriate default location so you can locate and reorganise it.

Who can restore documents — do I need special permissions?

Restoration rights depend on your QuoteCloud user role and your organisation's permissions. Typically document owners, users with document-management permissions, and administrators can restore items. If you don’t see Restore options, contact your account administrator to confirm or update your permissions.

How does restoring documents help keep my workspace organised?

Restoring documents prevents unnecessary rework and accidental data loss, keeping active folders complete and consistent. Using the Trash Bin as a temporary holding area reduces clutter in current folders and makes it easier to maintain a clean, logical document structure.

What should I do if I can’t find a deleted document or the Restore option is missing?

First double-check the Trash Bin and use search/filter controls. If the document is not listed or the Restore option isn’t available, verify your user permissions with your account administrator—some roles restrict restore actions. If permissions are correct, contact QuoteCloud support for assistance.

Is document restoration in QuoteCloud compatible with sales quoting software and proposal software workflows?

Yes. QuoteCloud’s restore feature is designed to fit into sales quoting and sales proposal software workflows so users don’t lose quotes or proposals when cleaning up folders. Restoring deleted quote software or proposal software documents quickly brings back active proposals, pricing tables, and templates so sales teams can continue workflows without rebuilding content.
