Deleting or Recovering a Deleted Story
When a Newsroom Management story is deleted, it is sent to a folder labeled Dead (the Dead queue), from which an administrator can retrieve it for a limited amount of time. This time frame is based on a purge interval set for that queue by each site’s system administrator.
To delete a story:
*In the queue list, select the story and do one of the following:
- Right-click and select Delete Story.
- Click the App Menu button and select Delete Story.
MediaCentral Cloud UX displays a message asking you to confirm the delete operation. Click OK to delete the story or Cancel to leave the story in the queue.
If the story is key-locked and you are not a super-user, a dialog shows the name of the key-locked story and prompts you to enter your password. When the password is correct, the key-locked story is deleted.
If you want to recover a deleted story, contact your system administrator to retrieve it from the Dead queue. After the story is purged from the Dead queue, it cannot be retrieved.
