EchoVideo offers a Recycle Bin where users can review and restore archived and soft-deleted content. You can always see and access the Trash tab to recover your deleted content. If your Institution Administrator has enabled a deletion policy, you can recover your soft-deleted content within the specified period, after which it will be permanently deleted. If no deletion policy is enabled, you can recover your soft-deleted content anytime.
If enabled, the initial view of the Recycle Bin page shows Archived Content. Your Institution Administrator can enable or disable users' ability to see and recover their archived content.
You must view at least one full 30-second video segment to reset the archive clock. This applies to the V1 and V2 players and the MDP, Classroom, and Embed players.
Navigating the Archive and Trash Content Pages
The pages can be filtered by status using the selections in the status bar across the top of the Archive or Trash tabs.
Using the panel on the left, the page can be filtered by Media Type or Details as needed. The Media Type category allows you to search by Audio, 360° Videos, Interactive Media, and Videos. The Details category allows you to filter by Source.
The below figure shows the Archived Content list, the Status bar, and the Search / Filter panel identified for use.
The list can be sorted by clicking a column header. The column being sorted appears with a small triangle to the right of the column name. If the triangle points down, the sort is Descending; pointing up indicates Ascending.
What content can be archived and soft-deleted?
Currently, only playable media can be archived and soft-deleted. This includes:
