When you delete cards or whiteboards in Heptabase, they're moved to the Trash.
Trash currently doesn't support search or filtering, so you'll need to browse the list to find an item.
On desktop and web
To access the Trash:
Click the Space name in the top-left corner of your desktop or web app, then click Trash.
Or press Cmd/Ctrl + K to open the command palette, then search for Trash.
Inside Trash, you'll see all your deleted items. To restore a card or whiteboard, click on it and select Restore. You can also permanently delete items here.
On mobile
Select the Space containing the deleted item.
Open Settings → Trash.
Tap the card or whiteboard you want to recover.
Tap Restore in the message indicating that the item is in Trash.
Restoring items on mobile requires an active subscription. If your account is inactive, the app asks you to reactivate it instead of showing Restore. To permanently delete items or empty Trash, use the desktop or web app.
Keep AI chats linked to a whiteboard
Moving a whiteboard to Trash keeps the AI chats and messages that use it as their source, but those chats stay hidden until the whiteboard is restored.
Permanently deleting the whiteboard also permanently deletes those source-linked chats and their messages.
To keep a chat before permanently deleting its source whiteboard:
Restore the whiteboard first if it is in Trash.
Open the affected chat and switch from AI Agent to Team.
Select Change source and choose another whiteboard you own in the same Space.
Switch back to AI Agent and confirm the same chat and full history are visible before permanently deleting the old whiteboard.
Permanently delete items
To clear all items at once on desktop or web, click the Empty Trash button.
Important: Once items are permanently deleted, you won't be able to recover them from their version history.
