Retrieving a Killed Story
107
To delete a story:
1. Open the queue containing story with which you want to work.
For more information, see “Opening a Queue” on page 62
.
2. Click the selection button in first column to the left of a story to choose it for deletion.
To delete multiple stories, press and hold the Ctrl key as you select the stories.
3. Select Edit > Kill (or press Ctrl+K).
4. (Optional) If you have previously set your confirmation options to display a confirmation
prompt when you delete a story, a confirmation message appears. Click OK to delete the
selected stories.
Retrieving a Killed Story
If you delete a story by mistake, you may be able to retrieve it from the Dead queue if you act
quickly. The Dead queue is purged periodically, when the system requires more space. The
sooner you act, the more likely it is you will be able to retrieve your story.
Your system administrator controls whether or not you have access to the Dead queue.
Versions of Stories
Certain queues are configured to keep previous versions of each story. These queues may be set
to hold all previous versions, only the most recent version, or only the first version of each story.
To open a workspace containing all of the previous versions of a selected story, do one of
the following:
t Select Story > Show Versions.
t Press Alt+S, then V.
To get an old version—swap the current version of a selected story with the most recent
version—do one of the following:
t Select Story > Get Old Version.
t Press Alt+S, then G.
To get all versions — append all the previous versions of a selected story in the Story
panel:
t Select Story > Get All Versions.
