Using the Trash
Move resumes and cover letters to Trash in Hireway, undo it, restore them within 30 days, or delete them for good.
When you remove a resume or cover letter, it goes to Trash instead of disappearing. It stays there for 30 days, so you can bring it back if you change your mind.
Move a document to Trash
On Documents, open the document's ⋯ menu and choose Move to Trash. In the editor, open the document name menu at the top left and choose Move to Trash; you return to Documents.
Hireway doesn't ask you to confirm, because the move can be undone. A message appears at the bottom of the screen. Select Undo to put the document back straight away.
While a resume is in Trash, its public link stops working. Restoring it brings the resume back as it was.
Open the Trash
Once Trash holds something, a Trash item with a count appears at the bottom of the sidebar. Select it to open the Trash page.
You can also open the command bar with ⌘ K (Ctrl K on Windows and Linux) and choose Trash, or go to https://hireway.dev/dashboard/trash.
The Trash page lists each document with its Type, linked Application, and how many days are left under Deleted in. When it's empty, it says Trash is empty.
Restore a document
Open the row's menu
On the Trash page, select ⋯ at the end of the document's row.
Choose Restore
Select Restore. The document goes back to Documents with its content, tags and links intact.
Delete a document for good
Documents are deleted permanently 30 days after you moved them to Trash. To delete one sooner:
Choose Delete now…
On the Trash page, open the row's ⋯ menu and choose Delete now….
Confirm
Select Delete now to confirm, or Keep in Trash to change your mind.
A deleted document can't be restored, and neither can its version history. If you might need it again, download a JSON copy first (see Exporting your resume).
