Deleting an item removes it from the case. Here are some considerations to keep in mind, when deleting an item.
Deleting Exhibits
| • | When you delete an exhibit, any annotations that you have applied to it are deleted as well, and the exhibit is removed from any presentations it was added to. However, any screen captures you may have created from the exhibit as well as any annotations made to the screen capture, are not deleted. |
| • | Exhibit pages cannot be deleted independently from the exhibit to which they belong. |
Deleting Media
| • | Deleting a media item from within Sanction does not delete the media source file from the file system, it just breaks the link from the case to the media file. |
| • | When you delete a media item from Sanction, any clip that you created from the media item is also deleted from the case. This includes clips already added to presentations and playlists. However, video stills created from the media item are not deleted nor are any annotations applied to the video stills. |
Deleting Transcripts
| • | When you delete a text transcript, it is removed from the case. |
| • | The screen captures from exhibits and video stills from media, and any text clip made from the deleted transcript, remains as an exhibit in the case. When you delete a transcript from the case, it is removed from any presentations it was added to. |
| • | When you delete a synchronized transcript, the transcript is removed from the case, but the video remains in its Sanction folder. |
Deleting Playlists, Presentations, and Folders
| • | If you delete a playlist, the items that were a part of it remain in the case. |
| • | To remove an item from a presentation, select the item and use the Remove Item command. Ctrl+Alt+R. Do not use the Delete command when a presentation item is selected as doing so will delete the entire presentation. |
| • | If you delete a presentation, the items that were a part of it remain in the case. |
| • | You can delete any folder that you create, as long as the folder does not contain any items. |
| 1. | On the HOME tab, click the Exhibits, Media, Transcripts, or Presentations navigation bar, depending on the type of item you want to delete. |
| 2. | Select the item you want to delete. |
|
Items, such as exhibit pages and transcripts, are not deleted from presentations, they are removed. Accordingly, if you want to remove an item from a presentation, you must select the item then then click Remove Item. Do not use the Delete command to remove items from presentations as doing so will delete the presentation.

| 3. | Do one of the following: |
| ▪ | In the Actions group, click Delete. |
