def destroy 
  if persisted?
    with_transaction_returning_status do

  @destroyed = true
end

#revive ⇒ Object Also known as: undelete, undestroy

Revive a destroyed item. For a model like:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  delete_softly
end

Then the following can be done:

p = Post.find(1)
p.destroy
p = Post.find(1) # raise error
p = Post.with_deleted.find(1) # Original object but with deleted_at attribute set
p.revive #=> deleted_at => nil
p = Post.find(1) # business as usual

If papertrail is used for this model it will not store a copy
