Removing & restoring a person

Removing a person is a soft delete β€” they're hidden, not destroyed, so a mistake is easy to undo.

  1. Open the person β†’ edit menu β†’ Remove person (admin).
  2. If you change your mind, use the undo prompt right after, or restore them later.
You can also remove a relationship (e.g., an incorrect parent link) from the edit menu without removing the person themselves.
