## FAQ

**Can I recover a deleted file?**  
Deleted files are permanently removed, but if deleted recently, contact support at support@builderpal.com for assistance with potential recovery.

**Is bulk renaming or deletion available?**  
Currently, files must be renamed or deleted one at a time. Bulk actions are not supported.

**What if the "Rename" or "Delete" options are grayed out?**  
This may occur if you lack edit permissions for the project. Check your role or contact the project owner to grant access.

**Are there limits on file name length or characters?**  
File names can be up to 255 characters and should avoid special characters like / \ : * ? " < > | to prevent issues.

**Can I organize documents into folders?**  
Yes you can. See [Creating and Using Folders](https://docs.builderpal.com/link/92#bkmrk-page-title)
