Unsharing and Deleting SOP

An SOP can be deleted by an Administrator or Editor user.

When deleting an SOP in Validaide, it is permanently removed from the database and cannot be restored. However, you can recreate it if needed.

You cannot delete an SOP if it is shared with your customer. If you wish to delete it, first you need to stop sharing it.

If the stop sharing button is not clickable or available, check the following:

• Remove External Approvers - External approvers in the SOP must be removed. This can be done in the Version Control tab by clicking the pencil icon to modify user roles.

To delete an SOP, go to the SOPs menu, click on the SOP, and on the SOP profile page you will find the red trashcan icon in the top right corner . Click on it to confirm the action.

Consequences of deleting an SOP:

• Your SOP gets completely deleted from the database when you click on the trashcan icon.
• Email notifications are NOT sent out to anyone about the SOP being deleted.
