Deleting a Collaborate Note
The ability to delete a note is available to all Collaborate users. You are not required to be the creator of the note to be able to delete it.
If you have a note open when another user deletes the note, or the encompassing assignment or topic, the Collaborate app allows you to save your work before the deletion process is complete. If you do not have the note open, you are not notified about the deletion and are not given an opportunity to save the content.
To delete a note:
1. Right click on the note in the Media area of your topic or assignment.
2. Click the Remove Asset option from the context menu.
3. Click the Remove button to permanently delete the note for all users.
Alternatively, you can click the Cancel button to abort the deletion process.
Saving a note:
1. If another user deletes a note while you have it open, the body of the note is replaced with a message that tells you that the note was deleted. To avoid loss of work, the message includes two options that allow you to save the contents of the note.
Copy Note to Clipboard: Allows you to save the contents of the note to your workstation’s clipboard. As a reminder, clipboard data is usually very transitory. Remember to paste this data into a more permanent location if you wish to retain it.
Save Note to File: If you select this option, your workstation displays a window that allows you to enter a file name and a save location. Files are saved in an HTML format.
All special note formatting is retained when using either of these options.
2. Click the Close button in the upper-right corner of the message to close the note.
Once closed, the note is permanently deleted.
