While a file cannot be deleted from a 3Play Media project, they can be archived. Archiving a file acts as a soft delete as the file can be made available again by unarchiving it later.
- When all files within a folder are archived, the folder is removed from the project by default.
- When one file associated with the previously removed folder is unarchived, the original folder is unarchived as well.
| Note: Any archived files associated with an interactive plugin or API driven captions will be come inactive when the file is archived. |
Steps to Archive Files
1. Select files
- From the My Files page check the boxes to the left of the filenames of the files you want to archive.
2. Click Archive
- Click the Archive icon located above the list of files.
- Once clicked, you will see a message that these files have been successfully archived.
- Archived files can be found by selecting Archived Files in the dropdown menu on the left-hand side of the page.
3. Unarchive your file (optional)
- Archived files can be unarchived and sent back to their original folders.
- To do this, locate and select the files in the Archived section of your project. After selecting the files, click Unarchive located above the list of archived files.
- The file will be sent to My Files and any original folders that have been archived will be unarchived.
