Keep a file but limit access

To keep a file while restricting ordinary users’ access, open Settings → Distribution. Under Share to, choose Admins only and then Save changes.

A folder or tag named “Archived” does not restrict access by itself.

Move files to trash

  1. Select the files, open the action menu and choose Move to trash.
  2. For folders, check the options for nested folders and files. Confirm with Move to trash.

Restore files from trash

Open Manage → Content → Trash, select the files and choose Restore. An individual file’s action menu also offers Recover from trash.

Delete permanently

In Manage → Content → Trash, select the files and choose Permanently delete. To continue, choose Delete assets in the confirmation. This cannot be undone.

Deleting or restricting a file does not remove copies already downloaded or inserted into documents.
