If you have read/write permissions to single or multiple items (documents or emails) that were declared as records, you can undeclare the item as a record.

Undeclaring an item restores it to its status before declaration, and you can change its profile information. However, you can undeclare an item only within a specific period after the item was declared. After this period expires, you can't undeclare the item.

To undeclare item(s) as a record: 

  1. Select your preferred item(s) from one of the following views:

    • Document folder

    • Saved search folder

    • Document or Email search results

    • Recent Documents

    • Recently filed emails

    • Emails filed by me 

  2. Select either of the following:

    • More Actions and then select UnDeclare As Record from the context menu.

    • UnDeclare As Record on the multi-select toolbar.

A progress dialog is displayed.

After you’ve undeclared an item as a record:

  • The Record :record: icon disappears next to that item.

  • The action is recorded in the item history
