Soft Delete

Deleted charts are retained for 7 days before being permanently removed.

When a chart is deleted:

  • its status changes to Deleted

  • it can be restored during the retention period

To restore a chart:

  1. Open the Home page.

  2. Locate the chart with Deleted status.

  3. Change its status to any other active status.

Permanent Deletion

To permanently remove a chart, delete it again while it is in the Deleted status.

Warning: Permanent deletion cannot be undone.

Change Chart Ownership

Chart ownership can be transferred to another user.

This is useful when the current chart owner changes roles or leaves the organization.

The new owner receives full management permissions for the chart.

Review the following after transferring ownership:

Chart Shares

Some existing shares may no longer work because they were created by the previous owner.

Review and recreate chart shares if necessary.

Impersonated View

If the chart uses Impersonated View, review the configuration after ownership changes to ensure it continues to work as expected.
