File deleted by another device: 2 options

Another sync conflict variant: file deleted vs I'm still editing.

When this happens

• Desktop open Chapter 8, wrote some
• Mobile, doing shelf cleanup, moved Chapter 8 to trash
• Desktop fetches → "This file is gone" + your unsaved edits

A prompt:

*The Lighthouse Keeper / Chapter 8* was deleted on another device.

Your unsynced edits: (shows diff)

Choose:
[ Confirm delete ] [ Restore file ]

Two options

1 · Confirm delete

Accept the other device's delete — your edits persist as a version snapshot, file moves to trash.

To recover later: restore from trash.

2 · Restore file

Bring the file back to the main folder — your edits preserved, file not deleted.

Other device on next sync: "This file was restored" notification.

Both ways are safe

Wrong choice:

• "Confirm delete" but you change your mind → restore from trash
• "Restore" then want it deleted → normal delete flow

Either way — no permanent data loss thanks to version snapshots + trash.

Why not auto-decide

E.g. "last action wins" sounds reasonable — but consider:

You wrote 1 hour on desktop, mobile accidentally deletes → "last action wins" = 1 hour's words gone.

So Slima asks you — doesn't decide for you.
