Good Afternoon Everyone,

So I have a page where users submit information into a database.

Is it possible to see their submission in preview mode , select it and delete it? I know in editor mode I can go to that database and delete the item manually. But can you delete items in preview mode using dropdowns, buttons, etc…

I have a search using dropdowns & buttons to select their submissions to view it, but it would be nice if I could delete it from the database from that page in preview mode.

Thank you in advance!
