FAQ
Can I restore a data table after deleting it?

- If it has already been deleted, first check whether an earlier version or a backup copy is available.
- For important content, back it up before you perform cleanup.
Does deleting one data table affect other data tables?
- The deletion action applies only to the currently selected data table or dashboard.
- Other unselected data tables are not deleted at the same time.
- If linked relationships exist, review the related content afterward.
What should I check before deleting a linked data table?
- Check whether the table is referenced by linked fields in other tables.
- If references exist, adjust or remove those links first.
