Dangerous but Awesome Mode

Dangerous but Awesome Mode lets the agent delete things when you ask — rows, views, dropdown options. Without it the agent can add and edit but never remove, and tidying up is left to you. With it on you can just say "delete these five dead prospects" or "get rid of the old board view," and it does it.

It's on by default for every organization. If you'd rather the agent never delete anything, an admin can switch it off in Settings — that choice sticks.

What it unlocks

When it's on, you can ask the agent to:

  • Delete rows you point it to (for example, prospects you've decided not to pursue)
  • Delete a view (a saved table or board) you no longer need
  • Remove a dropdown option even when some rows still use it — those cells are cleared

The agent only deletes things you've actually asked about, by name or by the specific rows in front of you. It won't go on a sweep, and it won't delete something just because it read a suggestion on a web page while researching.

How to turn it off (or back on)

  1. Click your organization name at the bottom-left, then Settings. (Settings opens as a panel over whatever you're looking at, so you don't lose your place.)
  2. Find Dangerous but Awesome Mode and switch it off.

Switching it back on asks you to confirm in a dialog; switching it off is immediate.

Only organization admins can change this setting. If you're not an admin, you'll see the toggle but can't flip it — ask an admin to change it (or to make you an admin).

When it takes effect

The agent picks up this setting when a conversation starts. So the reliable pattern for either direction is: change the toggle in Settings, then start a new chat.

If you flip the toggle in the middle of a conversation, the chat you're already in keeps the setting it began with — so open a new conversation to use the new setting.

(One safety guarantee: turning it off is enforced right away. Even mid-conversation, the agent can't actually delete anything once it's off — starting a fresh chat just gives you the cleanest experience.)

A note on deleting

The deletes this mode unlocks — rows, views, dropdown options — are permanent from your point of view. Treat them that way. Behind the scenes we keep an internal safety copy of what the agent removes, so if something goes by mistake, contact us and we can look into recovering it.

Deleting a whole sheet or doc is different: those go to a trash and are recoverable for 90 days. See below.

Deleting a whole sheet or doc

You can ask the agent to delete a sheet or a doc outright ("delete the 2024 Prospects sheet"), and you can delete one yourself from the sidebar's ⋯ menu. Either way it doesn't vanish: it goes to a trash, with everything inside it — rows, columns, views, the chats about it — kept together.

For 90 days you can ask the agent to bring it back:

  • "restore the 2024 Prospects sheet"
  • "what's in the trash?" — the agent lists everything trashed and how many days each item has left
  • "undo that delete" right after one

Restoring puts the sheet or doc back exactly as it was, with its contents intact.

When does it actually get deleted? 90 days after you deleted it, give or take an hour — the clean-up runs hourly, so an item goes shortly after its 90 days are up. Until that moment it is fully restorable; after it, the sheet and everything in it are gone for good and we cannot get them back. The countdown the agent quotes you is rounded up, so something deleted today shows "90 days left", and anything showing "1 day left" is about to go.

Two things worth knowing:

  • A recurring task pointed at a sheet in the trash stops running while the sheet is there, and picks back up if you restore it.
  • The agent needs you to ask before it deletes anything, and it tells you what it's about to delete first.

Reference Materials files, folders and chats aren't covered by the trash — deleting one of those is still immediate.

Good to know

  • The setting is per organization — it affects everyone on your team's agent, not just you.
  • It works the same for scheduled/recurring agents. If you'd rather your automated runs never delete anything, turn this off.
  • If you ever want the agent to delete something and it says it can't, that's this setting being off — an admin can turn it back on in Settings.
