+**Soft deleting**
+
+When soft deleting a model, it is not actually removed from your database. Instead, a deleted_at timestamp is set on the record. To enable soft deletes for a model, apply the SoftDeletingTrait to the model:
+
+use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\SoftDeletingTrait;
+
+class User extends Eloquent {
+
+    use SoftDeletingTrait;
+
+    protected $dates = ['deleted_at'];
+
+}
