This is useful for reinstating records that were temporarily removed from the module, without having to handle each item individually. By streamlining the process, Bulk Reactivate saves time, reduces manual effort, and helps maintain an accurate and up-to-date module. Reactivation is available only if **Inactivation** is configured as the method for removing items from the list in [Module Settings](/v1/docs/module-settings#Features). ## Understanding Bulk Delete / Inactivate --- > [!WARNING] > **Note:** A user will need to have Read, Edit, Delete, Bulk Edit and Bulk Delete access to be able to reactivate an item. ### Where to find Bulk Delete / Inactivate **Bulk Operations** allow you to perform actions on multiple items simultaneously, directly from a [workspace](/v1/docs/workspaces) or [module view](/v1/docs/module-views).
