If I delete a certificate, is the PDF gone forever?

File Storage & Document Formats

No - not immediately. Deleted certificate files are moved to cold storage for 90 days in case you need to recover them.

?? What Happens When You Delete a Certificate

  • The certificate is removed from your dashboard and reminders stop
  • The PDF is moved to secure cold storage for 90 days
  • After 90 days, the file is permanently deleted from all backups

??? Deleting a Property?

Deleting a property automatically deletes all of its certificates too — and the same 90-day cold storage rule applies to each file.
