Manage card sorts on your terms

You can turn the Card Sorts package on or off in your workspace at any time using a single toggle. When the package is enabled, Card Sots are added to your workspace and become available for use. When disabled, Card Sorts are removed from the workspace and no longer accessible.

Free plan vs Unlimited plan

Card Sorts by UserBit come with plan constraints, and what you can do with the feature depends on the subscription plan you are on. Understanding these differences helps you know what to expect and when to consider upgrading.

Trash/Recover

On the Unlimited plan, deleted studies aren’t removed permanently right away. Instead, it’s moved to trash, giving you a safety window of 15 days from the time of deletion to recover it.

How the trash functionality works:

  • When a card sort study is deleted, it remains in the trash for 15 days from the time of deletion.

  • During this period, you can restore the study at any time.

  • After 15 days, the card sort study is permanently deleted and can no longer be recovered.

This restore feature protects your work from accidental loss and gives you a safety net when managing complex projects. If a card sort is no longer required, you can permanently delete it from the trash.
