    Delete and archive (restore with Put Back)

    In Basecamp nothing is ever truly deleted: it's archived, and you can always recover it. Companion respects that. When you send a file or folder to Trash from Finder, Companion archives it in Basecamp instead of destroying it.


    Delete = archive

    1. Drag the file or folder to Trash (or right-click Move to Trash).
    2. It disappears from your Finder and gets archived in Basecamp.


    If you delete a folder, the entire folder with its contents is archived. Nothing is lost: everything is recoverable from Basecamp.


    Recover with Put Back

    1. Open the macOS Trash.
    2. Right-click the file or folder and select Put Back.


    It returns to its folder in Companion and gets unarchived in Basecamp. The reappearance may take a few seconds while Companion re-syncs.


    Recover from Basecamp

    You can also unarchive anything directly in Basecamp web, from the project archive. This is the best option if you've already emptied your Mac's Trash.


    Note: "Put Back" works for what you deleted with a recent version of Companion. If something doesn't come back, unarchive it from Basecamp web.
