Permission required: Announcements – Delete announcements

What is this?

With Archive you take a finished announcement out of the list of current announcements, for everyone in the choir. The announcement is kept in full and can be restored at any time.

Handy, for example, after a concert whose info nobody needs anymore, or after a poll has ended.

How to archive an announcement

  1. Click the bell at the top right of the header, then click the entry for the announcement.
  2. In the announcement, click ··· at the top right.
  3. Choose "Archive".
  4. The announcement disappears from the list of current announcements. A message with "Undo" appears at the bottom.

How to bring back an archived announcement

  1. Open Messages › Announcements.
  2. Click "Archive" at the top.
  3. Find the announcement you want.
  4. Click ··· › "Restore". "Current" takes you back to the normal list.

Permission

You need the Delete announcements permission. By default the Administrator and Moderator permission groups have it. The app doesn't offer archiving.

Tips

  • Archive finished announcements, for example after the concert, so the list stays clear for everyone.
  • Don't confuse archiving with deleting. You can't get anything back after deleting, but you can after archiving. If in doubt, archive.

Frequently asked questions

Is archiving the same as deleting?▾
No. Archived announcements are kept in full with comments, reactions, poll and attachments, and can be restored. They are just no longer in the list of current announcements.
Does archiving only apply to me?▾
No. Archiving applies to the whole choir: the announcement disappears from the list of current announcements for everyone. That is why only people with the "Delete announcements" permission may do it.
Can I bring back an archived announcement?▾
Yes. Right after archiving, click "Undo" in the message at the bottom. Later you find it under Messages › Announcements › Archive and bring it back via ··· › Restore.
