If you are looking for a blog to learn how to delete content from a Collaborative Space on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, you’re in the right place! Managing and deleting files in a collaborative environment requires careful handling to maintain data integrity and prevent accidental loss.

Before deleting any content, it’s essential to check user permissions, as only authorized users can remove or modify files. Additionally, reviewing dependencies between different design components helps avoid disruptions in linked projects.

To delete content, navigate to 3DDrive, 3DSpace, or the Collaborative Lifecycle app, locate the file or folder, and select the delete option. Some files may need to be released or unreserved before they can be removed. Administrators can also enforce content policies to ensure proper data management within the workspace.

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage and delete content while keeping your collaborative projects organized and seamless.

Introduction to 3DSpace(Collaborative Space)

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform offers a robust feature called Collaborative Spaces, which enables secure cloud storage and automatic relationship management for CAD files. The 3DSpace application facilitates the creation and management of these storage spaces. However, users are not limited to using the 3DSpace app exclusively; the Bookmark Editor application provides a structured, folder-like interface for organizing and accessing content. Additionally, the 3DSearch feature allows users to locate and retrieve items that may not be included in a bookmark.

Deleting Files from the Bookmark Editor App

The Bookmark Editor App is the primary tool for deleting content from a Collaborative Space. When a file is removed from this application, it is permanently deleted from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. To remove items, click on the trash can icon located in the upper right corner of the application. The Bookmark Editor App offers two functions: Remove and Delete, which have distinct functionalities:

• Remove: Takes the selected content out of the bookmark but does not delete it permanently.
  • Select one or more objects from the bookmark.
  • Use the Remove command to detach the chosen content from the bookmark.
• Delete: Permanently deletes the specified objects.
  • If you select one item, you can also delete its related structural objects by enabling the Include structural objects option.

Deleting Files from the Collaborative Lifecycle App

Alternatively, users can delete files using the Collaborative Lifecycle app, which provides the same removal capabilities as the Bookmark Editor App. This method is useful when an item is not present in a bookmark. Users can either search for the item using the integrated search function or drag and drop items into the Collaborative Lifecycle application.

Steps to Delete Files Using the Lifecycle App:

1. Open the Collaborative Lifecycle app.
2. Select the items you wish to delete.
3. Click the trash can icon located on the Lifecycle tab in the action bar (positioned on the far right).

Managing File Deletion on 3DEXPERIENCE

Unlike local file storage, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform imposes varying levels of restrictions on file deletion to enhance data security and management. Not all users have the same file deletion capabilities, and administrators can configure specific restrictions to prevent unauthorized data removal. These measures ensure data integrity, security, and ease of maintenance across the platform.

By understanding the available deletion methods and their implications, users can effectively manage content within their Collaborative Spaces while ensuring compliance with data governance policies.
