Overview

Changing a Folder's Report in its Folder View may toggle the visibility of any hidden and/or deleted items in the Folder.

Report changes in a Folder are preserved during export so multiple instances may maintain the same desired Folder View.

The following Reports toggle hidden or deleted item visibility Folder View:

  • All Folder Items (with Hidden)
  • All Folder Items (with Deleted)
  • All Folder Items with State

Once visible, deleted items may be recovered. Recovering a deleted item returns the item back to the regular Folder View and it is available for use in any process.
