[LON-CAPA-users] Mark Obsolete?

[Justin Gray]

My understanding is that the resource remains in all courses where it
currently resides, but that it will no longer be visible when browsing or
searching the repository.

When you mark a resource as obsolete you can recommend a new resource to
replace it in the metadata. I think that course coordinators are notified
of this through the What's New page in their courses, though I am not sure
about this.

I believe that deleting an obsolete resource just keeps it from cluttering
your author space, but this action does not really delete the resource from
the repository.
