Delete a line item
Two paths: the line-item kebab → Delete, or a chat command. Chat works for any room-scoped line as long as you name the room.
You'll delete line items more often than you'd think — Wave's defensive bidding intentionally adds some lines you might not need. Deleting is a one-click operation.
From the right pane
- Find the line item.
- Open the kebab (⋮) on the right of the row. It shows three actions: Add Notes, Modify ▸, and Delete Item (in red).
- Choose Delete Item.
The line disappears, totals reprice instantly. The red label is intentional — it's the one destructive action in the menu.
Via chat
Issue a delete command in chat. Name the room if it's not in the General section:
- "Delete the cover register from the hall bathroom."
- "Remove the floor protection line in the hallway."
For the rule and an exception around the General section, see Edit a line item via chat.
Bulk delete
Delete one line at a time, or chain them in one chat message:
"Delete the cover register in the hall bath, the floor protection in the hallway, and the third air mover."
What gets deleted
- The line item itself
- Any note attached to it
- The line's contribution to the total
Deletes are not undoable from the kebab — but if you regret it, ask Wave to re-add the same line ("Add the cover register back to the hall bathroom") and the line returns at the catalog price.
