We're working on a new way to delete documents in multiple spaces at once (via multi-filing), and your feedback would be very helpful before we finalize this improvement.

Why this topic?

Today, deleting a document filed in several spaces removes it from all of those locations at once. A mistake can happen quickly. We want to change that!

What we're planning to implement:

In the deletion window for a multi-filed document, two new options would appear:

• "Delete from this space": the document is removed only from the space you're currently in
• "Delete from all spaces where I'm an administrator": the document is removed from all spaces where you have admin rights (this option is greyed out if you don't have access to any other space, with an explanatory tooltip)

A few clarifications:

• You need access to a space in order to delete the document there
• Good news for authors: you can delete your own document even as a regular member, without needing to be an administrator (current behavior unchanged)
• For bulk deletion, only the "Delete from this space" option would be offered

️ So, what do you think?

Does this behavior match your day-to-day usage? Are there any specific cases we might not have considered? Would a different approach feel more natural to you?
Your feedback will really help us refine this feature before development begins, feel free to comment on this post!
