Note: You can check if they have anything related to them on the Stakeholders page, in the column "Usage", by hovering over the icons.
Step 1: Determine if the stakeholder can be deleted
Can't be deleted → If a stakeholder is involved in any historic transactions
Example: An investor that bought shares and then sold them to another investor. The investor currently doesn't own any shares, but the transactions for them still exist, and newer transactions are based on theirs. In that case, the stakeholder can not be deleted as that would mean one of the historic transactions would be missing a mandatory field: Stakeholder.
The stakeholder can't be removed, but you can revoke access, remove the email address and move the stakeholder to a separate group, e.g. Ex-investors.
Can be deleted → If historic transactions involving the stakeholder can be deleted or the stakeholder in the transaction can be replaced with another stakeholder
Example: A stakeholder was added to a transaction but was not the correct stakeholder. You can either delete the transaction or swap the stakeholder in the transaction for the correct one.
Go to the Stakeholders page
Under the "Usage" column, check whether the stakeholder still owns any shares
If they don't own any shares, then you can publish the changes on the Transactions page and continue to step 2 below.
Step 2: Revoke access and remove any related documents, signatures, reports, KPIs, beneficiaries
If you can delete the stakeholder, based on the above criteria, then proceed with revoking access and detaching the documents.
If there are no icons under the Usage column, you are free to delete the stakeholder immediately.
