Deleting Unpublished Document

If a document is linked to a BP, the document cannot be deleted directly from the Unpublished Documents (or from the Company Documents and Documents log windows).

A document is stored in the Unpublished Documents log or window automatically and as soon as a document is directly uploaded from the local machine, or network, and attached to a business process.

A document can be deleted from the Unpublished Documents log or window:

If the uploaded document is deleted from the BP during the workflow, or
If the document is deleted when the BP is in Draft mode, in case of a non-workflow BP.

You cannot delete a document:

If the BP has already completed the workflow, or
If the document has already been moved by an administrator to the Published Documents folder.
Note: You can create a special folder in project or shell Documents for documents that you want to publish and limit access to those documents, but the documents remain traceable.
