Summary

Delete a document in the Outline Wiki by its UUID or URL slug, either moving it to the trash for potential recovery or permanently destroying it.

Inputs

  • Document ID (required) — The UUID or URL slug (urlId) of the document to delete.
  • Permanent — Boolean flag indicating whether to permanently destroy the document (true) or move it to trash (false, default).

Output shape

a single JSON object representing the API response confirming deletion.

The response shape depends on the Outline API's /documents.delete endpoint. If 'Permanent' is false or omitted, the document is moved to trash and can be restored later; if true, the deletion is permanent with no recovery.

Examples

Example 1: Move document to trash (default)

Provide documentId and omit Permanent or set it to false.

Example 2: Permanently delete a document

Provide documentId and set Permanent to true.
