Many many users reported us the problem that they were not able to delete the documents once uploaded to View Docs Online. This was causing our users to contact us privately in order to remove their documents.

We are happy to announce that starting from now, our users have finally the opportunity to delete the documents they upload to View Docs Online: this is as easy as doing click on the “Delete” button that appears in the header of the viewer page.

Please keep in mind that the “Delete” button appears only for the documents you upload: this is to be sure that nobody else can delete the documents you uploaded.

A small technical note: to implement this delete feature we decided to use the browser cookies in order to avoid to introduce a mandatory registration step. This choice was made because we are well aware that our users like using View Docs Online without having to register.

We would like to get feedback from you regarding this new feature: don’t hesitate, leave a comment.
