Restore deleted items from the Trash

When you delete something in FilmKit, it moves to the Trash instead of disappearing. You can restore it from there for 30 days, and it comes back where it was, with its links.

Each project has its own Trash for everything deleted in that project, such as screenplays, catalog entries, shots, takes, storyboards, whiteboards, shooting days, budget lines, casting calls, and footage clips. Each space has a Trash for contacts deleted from its address book.
