Document Delete Node

The Document Delete node deletes specified workspace documents. When performing batch deletions or handling high-risk documents, we recommend pairing this node with manual intervention steps, such as the Pause and Resume node, to keep the process under control.

This node is suitable for:

• Cleaning up expired content (to avoid subsequent processes/AI referencing outdated materials)
• Compliance/privacy deletion requests (more reliable when combined with approval and audit)
• Automatic cleanup of temporary data upon expiration (data minimization)

Configuration

After adding the "Document Delete" node to the canvas, click the node and configure the following settings in the right-side configuration panel:

Document (required)

Specifies the workspace document to be deleted.

• Click the "+" button to select the workspace document to delete;
• Or use "Variable/Expression" to enter the document path/ID (supports variable insertion).

Error Handling

Configure the error handling strategy for the node. If a critical error occurs during execution that prevents the node from producing output, the configured strategy will be applied to avoid interrupting the entire Workflow.

Remarks

Usage Examples

Example 1: Expired Document Cleanup (Content Governance)

Scenario: After policy, script, or process documents are updated, old versions need to be deleted to prevent subsequent processes from continuing to reference outdated standards.

Workflow example (simplified):

• Locate the old version document (specific document ID/path/name determined by upstream nodes)
• Document Delete node (select the old document)
• Notify and log: Record "Old version cleanup completed" in the Workspace or system logs. (Optional)

Example 2: Compliance Deletion (Manual Approval Recommended)

Scenario: You receive a privacy deletion request that requires human approval and an auditable process.

Workflow example (simplified):

• Submit a deletion request (via a form or ticket).
• Pause the workflow to wait for manual approval. (Recommended)
• The Document Deletion node removes the document.
• Write the result back to the ticket or notify the requester. (Optional)
