There are different ways to remove a published press release (or campaign) once it has been pushed live. Below is the explanation for each of these methods and in which case you should use them.
Method 1 → Hide from newsroom
The easiest method is to hide the campaign from your newsroom. This is recommended if you have shared the news with the world, for example using an email distribution or on social media, but you no longer want the news to appear in your list of news in your newsroom. Hiding the campaign from your newsroom means that only people with a direct link will find it, you will see a small🔒icon in from of the campaign in the campaigns list.
Method 2 → Archive campaign
If you also don't want any links to your piece in the newsroom, you can archive. Archived campaigns are saved and can always be un-archived.
There are three ways to do this:
In the campaign list view, select the campaign you want to archive and in the ⚙️ dropdown menu on the right hand side of the list you can choose archive.
Click on any campaign title in the list and you will see a summary of the published campaign. In the top menu there is a "More" button (next to preview) in the dropdown choose Archive Campaign.
Click to edit the campaign and go the the Confirm tab (step 5) - here you also have the option to Archive the campaign.

Method 3 → Back to draft
If you're removing a campaign in order to make edits, follow these steps.
Go to your campaign list and click edit campaign from the dropdown.
In Step 5 "Confirm" you can select Back to draft.
Method 4 → Delete completely
The last method is mostly used to cleanup duplicates or other news that you don't need to keep at all. You can remove any campaign completely from our system by deleting it.
In the campaign overview select Delete from the dropdown on the campaign you wish to delete.
