How to Trash or Restore Boards in Your Organization from the Admin Console

April 8, 2026

As an admin, keeping your boards organized is key to maintaining a clean and efficient workspace. The Admin Console allows you to manage board lifecycle actions, including moving boards to the trash and restoring them when needed. This guide walks you through how to safely remove and recover boards to maintain control over your organization’s content.

Note

Boards moved to the trash are not deleted immediately. However, if no action is taken within 30 days, they will be permanently deleted.
