# Take back a "received outside" mark

`DELETE /v1/intakes/{id}/items/{key}/received-outside`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.briefgate.dev`
- URL: `https://api.briefgate.dev/v1/intakes/{id}/items/{key}/received-outside`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Undo POST .../received-outside and put the item back to `pending` — a fresh start, not an undo of an earlier value, since nothing genuine was ever collected for it. If this was the last thing keeping a completed intake finished, the intake reopens to `in_progress`.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required
- `key` string, required

## Response `200`

Reverted; item is pending again

- object
  - `key` string
  - `status` 'pending'
  - `received_outside` false

## Other responses

- `401`: Missing or invalid API key
- `403`: Authenticated but not allowed to perform this action
- `404`: Item not found, or it was not marked received outside
