How do I archive and restore media in Canvas Studio?
If necessary, you can archive a video or audio file from Canvas Studio. You can also restore the media file.
Notes:
- Archiving media items removes it from shared libraries and unlinks it from any associated courses.
- Unless users are granted the Allow users to permanently delete archived media items permission, only admins can delete archived media permanently.
