# Automated Actions

This section describes the various actions that Nightfall takes automatically when a violation is detected. You must turn on the toggle switch to enable an action. The automated action is permanent and cannot be reversed once applied. You can also use the delayed remediation feature to set the timeline as to when an action must be taken. You can either choose to apply the automated action immediately after detecting a violation or after some time. 

The various automated actions are described as follows.

**Delete Document**: This action deletes the file that contains sensitive data. You cannot revert this action once it is applied automatically. You must also configure this automated action after a certain time period has elapsed. The delayed remediation feature allows you to set a time period. The automated action is applied only after the set time period has elapsed. Alternatively, you can also choose to apply the action immediately.
