How to Delete Documents

Need to remove documents from your Brim project? Whether you're cleaning up test data or removing documents for a specific patient, Brim makes it easy to do so—but be careful: this action is permanent and cannot be undone.

Permissions Required

To delete documents, you must have the "Can delete documents" permission enabled for your user account. If you don't see the Delete Documents option, contact someone from your organization with Brim Admin status to update your permissions.
