2. Lightning Experience Now Supports the Recycle Bin
Don’t want to switch to Salesforce Classic to access the recycling bin? You can now view, restore, and permanently delete the items in both your Recycle Bin and in the Org Recycle Bin while using the Lightning Experience UI.
To access the Recycle Bin, navigate to App Launcher > Recycle Bin.
Key differences from Salesforce Classic:
- Recycle Bin Name: Org Recycle Bin (formerly All Recycle Bin)
- Buttons:
- Restore (formerly Undelete): restores items in the Recycle Bin.
- Delete (formerly Empty): permanently removes items in the Recycle Bin.
- Dashboard Items: Cannot be seen in Lightning Experience; switch to Salesforce Classic to restore (undelete) dashboards.
