  def change
    add_column :clients, :deleted_at, :datetime
  end
end

class Client < ActiveRecord::Base
  paranoid
end

c = Client.find(params[:id])

# will set destroyed_at time
c.destroy

# will restore object and all it's associations
c.restore

# will restore only this object without it's associations
c.restore(associations: false)

# will destroy object for real
c.destroy(force: true)

# also useful scopes are available
Client.with_deleted
Client.only_deleted

With paperclip

  has_attached_file :image,
    # ...
