Permission required: Announcements – Delete announcements

What is this?

Archive announcement lets you tidy up your choir's announcement list without losing anything. The announcement disappears from the list of current announcements for everyone and moves to the archive, where you can restore it at any time.

Unlike deleting, the announcement is kept in full, including comments, reactions, poll and attachments.

How to archive an announcement

  1. Open the announcement from the announcements overview.
  2. Click ··· at the top right. Each announcement in the list also has a ··· menu.
  3. Choose "Archive".
  4. The announcement disappears from the list right away. A message with "Undo" appears at the bottom.
  5. Restore it if needed: open "Archive" at the top and choose ··· › "Restore" on the announcement.

The app doesn't offer archiving.

When archiving makes sense

Typical situations:

  • The event has taken place: the rehearsal or performance info is no longer needed
  • The poll is over: the result is clear, and the announcement no longer needs to be in the overview
  • The discussion is finished: comments have been read and questions answered
  • Tidying up the overview: there are many old announcements and everyone should only see current ones

What other members see

The announcement no longer appears in the list of current announcements for anyone. Members without the Delete announcements permission can't see the archive. An archived announcement carries the label "Archived" and can't be edited until it is restored.

Permission

You need the Delete announcements permission to archive and restore announcements. By default the Administrator and Moderator permission groups have it.

Tips

  • Archive instead of deleting. The overview stays tidy and no information is lost.
  • After every event or performance you can archive the related announcement, so only current topics stay in view.
  • Search the archive when you need old information; the search field there searches the archived announcements.
  • For important announcements with attachments, archive rather than delete. The attachments then stay available.

Frequently asked questions

Can other members still see the archived announcement?▾
Not in the list anymore. Archiving applies to the whole choir: the announcement disappears from the list of current announcements for everyone. Anyone with the Delete announcements permission finds it in the archive.
Where do I find archived announcements again?▾
Under Messages › Announcements, click "Archive" at the top. It lists all archived announcements of your choirs. "Current" takes you back.
Can I bring back an archived announcement?▾
Yes. Right after archiving, click "Undo" in the message at the bottom. Later, open the archive and choose ··· › "Restore" on the announcement. It then appears in the normal list again.
Are old announcements archived automatically?▾
No. Announcements stay in the list until someone archives them, for example after an event has taken place.
