For me (an employee of an Autodesk VAR) demonstrating Design Collaboration in a Demo/Training project, this would be a great reset feature. I completely agree with you regarding the destruction of historical progress in a low-trust consumer project (https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/bim-360-document-management/delete-a-project/td-p/6872891) but, it would be a nice feature to have in a Demo/Training project. It becomes rather annoying to create a new project and go through the motions in order to reach a point in time to demonstrate the process. Would it be possible to make a toggle in the Profile of the Project that only a Project Admin could change? This would also provide the Admin with the ability to delete Teams in the Design Collaboration Service which in turn removes the Project Files folders.
How about if it can be deleted within a given time frame? Say no more than 15 to 30 minutes after sharing? I could even accept 10 minutes since we normally can see if we did not share everything or overshared.
Please give project administrators the choice to decide for themselves what is appropriate to delete and not to delete. It is not really appropriate for Autodesk to be making this decision for us and force us into the way you believe we should work.
What if you accidentally post a package? For example, something confidential, misleading, or just wrong? Is the only solution to just delete the entire project and restart? The ability to either remove or hide packages (with permissions, etc) would be greatly appreciated.
Administrators and Original posters of the package/s should be allowed to remove these if required. This is an issue I have come across on several projects. Also it gets confusing if someone new comes along, publishes the model and then shares the wrong package - and this could easily happen and also potentially cost someone thousands of dollars.
I am mostly on Autodesk's side on this one. The ability to remove/delete something that someone may have already seen, downloaded, and have already made decisions on can have legal consequences. The ability for the account host to manipulate data after the fact, could also instil doubt with users, which may lead to loss of use.
However, I also understand the concerns raised, and I do believe that Autodesk could do something to help 'clean up' accidental packages. In the same way that other data can be 'voided', maybe packages require something similar? Voided packages could be a different icon on the swim lane (maybe a triangle) and maybe they could be a fainter tone so they are not so prominent. Also, a Filter to hide them, with them being hidden by default.
When a package is voided, a reason would also have to be provided.
I'm also fine with the contents of the voided package being hidden/locked. But, the package metadata (name, date, description, void reason, etc) would have to remain visible. This keeps the record on the swim lane intact should someone have already viewed, downloaded, or made decisions on the subsequently voided package.
If the packaged has not been viewed by anyone, then I am happy the package can be deleted. But once it has been viewed, then deletion should not be possible.
With the above in place, I would be comfortable that anyone with Edit (Share) permission to be able to void packages.
Everyone sync'd, I mistakenly published and shared a package without checking the set's sheets.
Early next morning, I examined the sheets which revealed a jpg, let's call it unneeded content, I immediately tried to delete the package to no prevail, so I removed all but admin's access.
Weeks later, Autodesk continues to advise to delete the entire team and start a new one.
All project history lost... unless:
I could retrieve and upload to a new team, each version of each model, each links, etc., Publish/Share, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat...
I would rather push a button to delete, and face the consequences, which can all be Disclaimed with an Are you sure button.
