Removing or deleting an item is permanent! The item is completely removed from the IDEALS server and can NEVER be restored. Withdrawing an item is non-permanent. A withdrawn item can no longer be accessed via the web interface. However, the item (and any descriptive information about the item) remains on the IDEALS server and can be restored at any time.
