Deleting a team will delete all calendared deadlines and events and group contents.  

For the purpose of LawToolBox matters, a group and team are the same for syncing deadlines.

LawToolBox does not have permission to delete groups or teams, only users can delete the group:



Instead of deleting a team, follow these steps instead:

2. Browse to the group/team that you no longer wish to see

3. Click on the ellipsis (...) on the right-hand side of the team and then select "Hide"

4. This keeps the group active under "Hidden Teams", but not visible



SHOW TEAM

2. Click on the ellipsis (...) and select "Show" at the top
