You can now remove participants from a Wave – Google Wave
Posted on April 21, 2010 by by valerirojas
The Google Wave team has finally added one of the most important features needed for a Wave, Removing Participants
If you have a Google Wave account and created a Wave you can now remove yourself or any other participant from that wave. The only person you can’t remove from a wave is the person who started the Wave.
Google has been adding many updates and new cool features to their product but I believe this is one of the most popular features Wavers have been waiting for ‘WHY?’ because there is nothing more annoying than adding someone to a Wave you didn’t mean to invite.
To remove a participant, click his or her picture at the top of the wave, and then click Remove. If the participant you remove has previously opened the wave, a read-only copy of the wave, with a large red “X” at the top, will remain in his or her account, but it will only contain content up to the point of removal. He or she will not have access to any content added after you that point, and they’ll no longer be able to contribute to or edit the wave.
If you remove someone from a wave before they open it, the entire wave will simply disappear from their account. It isn’t possible to see whether or not any user has already opened a wave.
Note: removing yourself from a wave cannot be undone. You can only regain access to the wave if another participant adds you back to the wave.
Google Wave Product Manager Steph Hannon also confirmed that new feature on Twitter today.
