In a Mass Delete action, what does selecting 'Document and all associated files' imply?

Selecting 'Document and all associated files' in a Mass Delete action indicates that the system will remove not only the primary document itself but also any files that are related to that document. This includes any attachments or linked resources that are tied to the primary document record.

This option ensures that all information associated with the document is completely deleted from the system, maintaining data integrity and preventing orphaned files that could remain in the platform without a reference. The choice of removing associated files emphasizes the comprehensive nature of the action, helping users understand that the entire context of the document will be eliminated.

For clarity, it's important to note that the other options speak to different aspects of document management and do not align with the primary function of the Mass Delete action. Administrative rights or metadata removal do not pertain to the comprehensive deletion of documents and their linked resources, and while the deletion may be permanent, this is a broader implication rather than directly stating the function of the specific Mass Delete action.
