Recently Archived
When soft-delete is enabled, deleting a chart, dashboard, or dataset archives it instead of removing it permanently. The Recently Archived view lets owners and admins find archived objects and restore them.
This view is gated by the SOFT_DELETE feature flag. When the flag is off the
page and its menu entry are hidden, and deletes are permanent as before.
Finding archived objects
Open Recently Archived and pick a type — Chart, Dashboard, or Dataset — from the Type selector. The view shows one type at a time; each type is read from its own list endpoint, so the same row-level access rules that govern the normal lists apply here.
Each row shows:
- Name — for charts and dashboards this links to a preview; datasets show plain text (preview is only available for charts and dashboards).
- Type — the selected object type.
- Archived — how long ago the object was archived (sortable).
- Archived by — the user who archived it.
Narrowing the list
- Name search filters by a substring of the object's name.
- Archived time-range presets (Last 7 / 30 / 90 days, or All time) narrow the list to objects archived within the window.
The list is sorted by archive time, most recently archived first.
Restoring an object
Use the Restore action on a row to bring the object back. It immediately returns to its normal list and disappears from the archive. Restoring is limited to the object's owners and admins; you can only restore objects you are able to see in this view.
