Delete and recover documents in the Grammarly Editor

This article covers: 

Deleting documents 

You can see all of your saved documents at https://app.grammarly.com/. If you’d like to delete a document, hover over the document you want to delete and click the trash bin icon:

Documents in your trash bin will be permanently deleted after 30 days. If you need to permanently delete a document before that timeframe is over, go to Trash and click the trash bin icon next to the corresponding document:

If you’d like to delete all documents from your Trash, click Empty Trash as shown below:

Important! This action will delete your documents permanently, and you won’t be able to restore them in the future. 

Recovering documents

If you deleted your document by accident, you’ll have a couple of seconds to undo your action. To undo, click the Undo button on the pop-up message that appears right after deletion:

If you deleted your document within the last 30 days, you can also restore it by going to Trash and clicking Restore

If you deleted a document more than 30 days ago, it has been permanently deleted, and unfortunately, we won’t be able to recover it. 

Recovering document versions

If you need to recover a part of your text, press Command + Z on macOS or Ctrl + Z on Windows. 

Additionally, if you accidentally deleted a chunk of text, you can click the Undo button on the pop-up in the Grammarly Editor:

If you were unable to undo your action or need to review previous versions of the document, click the Menu button in the upper-left corner of the screen (appears as the three horizontal lines) and then click Version History:

You can also access Version History from your dashboard at https://app.grammarly.com:

You will be able to download all available versions of your document. If you don't see the version you are looking for, it means that it's no longer available on our servers.
