The difference
| Archiving | Trash | |
|---|---|---|
| What does it mean? | Out of the day-to-day list, but kept. | Marked for deletion. |
| Restorable? | Yes, any time. | While it is in the trash, yes. |
| When to use it? | A finished campaign, old material you may still need. | A wrong file, a duplicate, something you will never need. |
| Where is it? | On the Archived tab. | On the Trash tab. |
What happens to the scheduling?
- Archived and trashed content does not go out from the calendar: its scheduling will not be fulfilled.
- Already published content is unaffected: what went out stays on the channel.
- A piece's version history survives archiving; permanent deletion removes it with the content.
Do I get credits back when I trash something?
No. Credits were spent at production; deleting does not refund them. That is why it is worth thinking through before a run how much content you actually need.
Does archiving free up storage?
An article's text takes negligible space. For source material, though, archiving does not free storage — there you have to delete.
Can I restore something I put in the trash?
While it is in the trash, yes. Right after deleting, the interface also offers a brief undo — once you close the page that is gone.
