Be careful deleting a record in Pure. It is **not possible to restore** the deleted record.
# 9.3. Relations One of the most important advantages of Pure is, that it **connects** content types with each other. Using relations can help to improve our data quality. For example, a Research output is always related to a person and the person’s organisation. These connections are shown under *Display* tab. [](https://wiki.pmu.ac.at/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/bild-76.jpeg) To manually add relations to a record: 1. Search for the exact record, you want to link with another (in Pure already existing) record. 2. Go the *Relations* or *Related* …. section, and choose the type of the content. Begin to search for the record you want to add to this record. 3. Click on *Save*. These relations are shown in the *Relations* tab of the record: [](https://wiki.pmu.ac.at/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/bild-77.jpeg) ** **To manually add relations to a record **depends on the workflow state**. For example, if a Research output has gone through the validation process, adding a relation is no longer possible for Researchers.
