+Soft delete mechanism
+=====================
 
-eLabFTW uses a soft-delete mechanism for entries. When you delete an experiment or a resource, it is simply marked as being deleted: its State changes from Normal to Deleted (another possible State would be Archived). This means the entry will still be accessible in the backend database as a deleted entity. Currently, only a Sysadmin with MySQL access is able to restore an entry, by changing the State back to 1.
