Rename or delete a document

Rename a project document, or delete it, and what deleting does to the file.

  1. In "Documents", open the document's "More actions" menu, or right-click it.
  2. Choose "Rename" and type the new name, or choose "Delete" and pick what happens to the file.

Deleting always removes the document from the project for everyone. What happens to the file depends on whose it is:

  • Your own Google Doc: "Remove from project" keeps the file in your Drive. "Move to trash" also moves it to your Drive trash, where you can restore it for 30 days.
  • Your own Word document: "Remove from project" keeps the file in your OneDrive. "Move to recycle bin" also moves it to your OneDrive recycle bin, where you can restore it.
  • A document someone else owns: the only choice is "Remove from project". The file stays in their drive.

To undo "Remove from project", open the project's "Overview", then "Activity", and choose "Undo" on that row. A file moved to the trash is not put back by Mosaic: restore it from your Drive trash or OneDrive recycle bin, then link it again.

Documents are shared with the project's collaborators automatically. A row may note that some collaborators do not have access yet.
