Delete project items

 


It is a good idea to make a backup copy of your project (using the Finder) before you delete sources, nodes or other project items.

If you accidentally delete a project item, use the 'undo' function to reverse your action.


WARNING If you delete a source, node or classification that is associated with other items in your project, then other information in your project may also be deleted. For example:

  • If you delete a source, then any annotations and coding references associated with the source are also removed.

  • If you delete a node, then any coding references associated with the node are also removed.

  • If you delete a source classification, then any sources with that classification are no longer classified, and their attribute values (for example, bibliographical information about your sources) are removed.

  • If you delete a case classification, then any cases with that classification are no longer classified, and their attribute values (for example, demographic information) are removed.

To delete a project item:

  1. In the List View, click the item you want to delete.

  2. On the Home tab, in the Editing group, click Delete.

Keyboard shortcut: To delete the selected item, press DELETE.
