Trash Workflows: Recoverable delete powered by core
This module provides a soft-delete feature for content, allowing you to move items to a trash state instead of permanently deleting them. You can then access and restore content from a dedicated trash tab, and it can be integrated with content moderation workflows.
Provides a trash (soft-delete) workflow which works well with (but does not require) Workflow buttons
Features
- Provides a Trash unpublished state
- Adds a tab next to Content Overview and Moderated Content for content in the trash (from whence it can be restored)
- Includes a simple content moderation workflow with the trash state, but you can create your own
Post-Installation
- Go to Configuration » Workflow » Workflows at
/admin/config/workflow/workflows - Use the provided Trash workflow or edit your own
Additional Requirements
Requires Content moderation tabs to provide the tab for the listing of content in the trash state.
And Drupal core's Content Moderation module will be enabled if it is not already.
Recommended modules/libraries
Works brilliantly with Workflow Buttons but does not require it.

Credits
This module was torn from Trash Workflows at the same time that module was being ejected from Workflow Buttons.
The tutorial by HashBangCode's Phil Norton on Adding Third Party Settings to existing Drupal configuration entities has been huge in directing this module toward a much better user experience than a separate settings page.
