Site editors cannot delete media items, but they can unpublish this content which effectively hides the media from anonymous (not logged in) users. The steps below outline the steps to unpublish media.
Note: Editors can unpublish all media items, including those they did not create. However, editors can only view unpublished media which they created.
- Select Content > Media from the administration toolbar.
- Locate the media item you wish to unpublish; you can search by the media item’s name and filter by the media type (Audio, File, Image, Video).
- Check the box to the left of the media item thumbnail.
- Select Unpublish media from the Action menu.
- Click the Apply to selected items button.
To unpublish page content (i.e. nodes), please see Stop content from displaying (unpublishing).
