Projects

Delete or restore a project

A project you delete goes to the trash first. A project in the trash can't be opened. It stays there for 14 days, and you can restore it until then. After 14 days, Fantasma deletes it permanently.

Deleting a project in Fantasma doesn't touch your Ghost site. A theme you already published or uploaded stays in Ghost Admin and keeps working.

Move a project to the trash

  1. On your dashboard, move the pointer over the project's card and click the three dots beside its name. You can also right-click the card's picture.
  2. Select Move to trash. A dialog asks "Move project to trash?"
  3. Click Move to trash.

A message says "Project moved to trash". The project no longer counts toward your active projects, the ones outside the trash.

To trash the project that's open in the editor, click the project's name at the top of the right sidebar to open Project settings. On the General page, click Move to trash and confirm. Fantasma takes you to the dashboard.

Restore a project from the trash

  1. On your dashboard, click Projects, the title over your projects. While the trash holds a project, it opens a menu with Projects and Trashed.

  2. Select Trashed. The trashed projects appear, each with the time it was moved to the trash, such as "Moved to trash 3 days ago". To go back to your other projects, select Projects in the same menu.

  3. Move the pointer over the project's card and click the three dots beside its name. You can also right-click the card's picture.

  4. Select Restore.

A message says "Project restored", and the project is back on the dashboard as it was, with its images, fonts, history and Ghost connection.

A restored project counts as active again, so you need room under your plan's limit: 3 active projects on Free, 50 on Pro. When you're at the limit, Restore is grayed out, and pointing at it shows "Free includes 3 active projects. Upgrade to Pro for 50." Move another project to the trash first, or upgrade to Pro.

Delete a project permanently

Important. A permanently deleted project can't be restored, and neither can its images, fonts or history.

  1. On your dashboard, open the Trashed list, as in Restore a project from the trash.
  2. Move the pointer over the project's card and click the three dots beside its name, or right-click the card's picture.
  3. Select Permanently delete. A dialog asks "Permanently delete project?"
  4. Click Permanently delete.

A message says "Project permanently deleted". You delete projects one at a time. There is no button that empties the whole trash, and a project goes to the trash before it can be deleted permanently.

The Trashed list shows when each project was moved there, not how many days are left.

Trashed projects and the total limit

Projects in the trash count toward your account's limit for all projects together: 6 on Free and 100 on Pro. When you reach it, you can't create a project until you permanently delete one from the trash, even with room under the active limit.
