Bin
The Bin tab holds deleted tasks for 30 days before they are permanently removed.
- •Restore a task to bring it back with its original task number, sub-tasks, comments, attachments, and time logs (it returns to Drafts if its original group or sprint no longer exists)
- •Delete forever permanently removes a Bin item (Owners and Admins only)
- •Search by title or task number, with pagination for large Bins
Who can see the Bin follows the Task Deletion setting: Owners and Admins always; Members only when the project allows all members to delete tasks. Items older than 30 days are permanently deleted automatically.
