Deleting an Object From the Library

Permanently deleting an object from your Library is easy. In many cases, you may only need to remove the object from the Book you're working with, so the object is still available to use in other Books. It is not possible to permanently delete an object if other objects still use it.

Warning: Once you have deleted an object from the Library, it cannot be recovered. Be careful.

To Delete an Object from the Library:

1. In the Library Explorer select the object (or objects) you want to delete.
2. Right-click and choose Delete. Author-it will delete each object only if:
   • You have the correct security permissions to delete objects from the Library Folder that contains them. Contact your Author-it administrator for help with permissions.
   • The object is not being used by other objects. If it is used, a confirmation message appears showing relationships to other objects. You must remove the object from the relationship before you can delete it.
