Backing up a Story

2. Click a story to select it.
3. Select Story > Hold again. This removes the check mark by the Hold option in the menu.
Backing up a Story
Back up a story when you want to save a copy of the story to your workstation’s hard drive. Back
up stories frequently to ensure that a recent copy of the story is available if your network
connection to the iNEWS Server is lost.
You can back up only those stories for which you have write permission.
To back up a story:
1. Open the queue containing story you want to work with.
For more information, see
“Opening a Queue” on page 62.
2. Click a story to select it.
3. Click anywhere in the Story panel.
4. Select File > Backup Story.
A copy of the story is saved on your local drive.
Recovering a Backed-Up Story
If your workstation loses its network connection to the server or if your news story is corrupted
due to an unexpected system problem, use the Recover Story option to recover the most recently
backed-up story.
To recover a story:
1. Open the queue containing the story with which you are working.
For more information, see
“Opening a Queue” on page 62.
2. Select File > Recover Story.
The iNEWS system inserts the recovered file into the story body.
Killing a Story
Killing (or deleting) a story removes it from a queue and places it in the Dead queue. You can
delete a story only if you have write access to the queue and the story.
