  • Status change: Depending on the current status of the album the status can be changed (e.g. “Lock”).
  • Media: Clicking “Media” lists all media of the album.

Irrevocable deleting an album (purge)​

By activating the status filter “deleted” all albums that have been marked as deleted (and thus aren’t active in the portal anymore) will be listed.

They can be deleted irrevocable (complete deletion from the database) by clicking the “Purge” link in the context menu of the according album.

You can also delete several or all deleted albums by checking the album checkboxes and then executing the according batch action. Note that the batch action “Purge” only works within the filter “deleted” respectively only for albums with status “deleted”.
