# Ignoring vs. deleting rows

Last updated: 2026-10-17

ListPlus has two separate ways to take a row out of your work: **ignoring**
(Ignorieren), which is reversible and keeps the data, and **deleting**, which
removes the row from the list.

## Ignoring rows

Select one or more rows and choose **Ignore selected records** in the
selection bar's **⋯** menu, or right-click a row and choose **Ignore N
Row(s)**. Ignored rows disappear from every view of the list, including the
**Open** working view (see "[Record statuses and the working view (Open /
All)](https://listplus.ai/en/help/working-in-a-list/list-statuses)") — ignoring is the stronger of the two: unlike a "done" status, an
ignored row is also skipped by analysis, triggers and enrichment. To find
them again, click the **Ignored** chip (Ignoriert) in the status bar at the
bottom of the grid, or run **Show Ignored Rows** from Commands (⌘K) —
clicking the chip again, or **Show All Rows**, brings the normal view back.
Ignoring rows saves itself automatically in the background.

## Restoring ignored rows

In the ignored-rows view, select the rows and click **Restore**, or
right-click and choose **Restore N Row(s)**. This is also saved
automatically — the rows are back in your normal views immediately.

## Deleting rows

Select rows and choose **Delete** from the selection bar's **⋯** menu, or
right-click and choose **Delete N Row(s)**. The rows disappear right away
and the deletion is saved automatically about a second later. To bring them
back, click **Undo** in the list header or press ⌘Z / Ctrl+Z — the rows
return complete, in the same place, including their enrichment data. Undo
only reaches back within the same session: after you switch lists or reload
the page, deleted rows can't be brought back.

Deleting rows is only available if the list allows it — see "[Set up: what a list can do, and
its settings](https://listplus.ai/en/help/working-in-a-list/list-settings)" for the **Allow deleting rows** toggle (Set up → Permissions). If it's off, no Delete option
appears in the selection bar or the right-click menu.

## FAQ

### What's the difference between ignoring and deleting a row?

Ignoring takes a row out of every view but keeps its data — you can bring it back anytime with Restore. Deleting removes the row from the list (saved automatically); Undo brings it back until you switch lists or reload the page.

### How do I ignore rows?

Select the rows, then open the selection bar's ⋯ menu and click Ignore selected records, or right-click a row and choose Ignore N Row(s). Ignored rows disappear from every view immediately, including the Open working view, and save automatically — no need to click Save.

### Where do ignored rows go, and how do I find them again?

Click the Ignored chip in the status bar at the bottom of the grid, or run Show Ignored Rows from Commands (⌘K). Click the chip again, or run Show All Rows, to return to your normal view.

### How do I restore an ignored row?

Open the ignored-rows view (the Ignored chip in the status bar, or Show Ignored Rows from Commands), select the rows, and click Restore — or right-click and choose Restore N Row(s). This saves automatically too.

### Do I need to click Save after ignoring or restoring rows?

No — there is no Save button; ignoring and restoring both sync to the server automatically in the background, like every edit in a list.

### How do I delete rows, and can I undo it?

Select the rows and choose Delete from the selection bar's ⋯ menu, or right-click and choose Delete N Row(s). The deletion is saved automatically; click Undo in the list header or press ⌘Z / Ctrl+Z to bring the rows back complete, in the same place. After you switch lists or reload the page, undo is no longer possible and the deletion is permanent.

### Why don't I see a Delete option for my rows?

Deleting is only available when the list allows it. Check Set up → Permissions → Allow deleting rows (Set up is the two sliders next to the list's name); if it's switched off, no Delete option appears for anyone on that list.

### What's the difference between ignoring a row and marking its status "done"?

Ignoring is stronger: an ignored row disappears from every view, including Open and All, and is skipped by analysis, triggers and enrichment. A "done" status only leaves the Open working view — the record still shows under All and is still seen by analysis, triggers and enrichment; see "[Record statuses and the working view (Open / All)](https://listplus.ai/en/help/working-in-a-list/list-statuses)."
