Withdrawing a Favorites List

Published Favorites Lists can be withdrawn, so that they are no longer available. For example, you may wish to withdraw a list because it has been superseded by a newer list.

When a list is withdrawn, all subscriptions to it are cancelled, and only List Administrators and the List Author can see it. If required, the withdrawn list can be re-published, and people can re-subscribe to it.

To submit a withdrawal request:
  1. Select the list in the Lists panel, then right-click and choose Publish > Request Withdrawal

    A 'Pending approval' flag will then be shown in the list status area, but the list will be available until the withdrawal is approved.

    Tip: To cancel your withdrawal request, right-click and choose Publish > Cancel Withdrawal Request.
  2. If you have List Publisher privileges, you can approve or reject lists that are pending approval:
    1. Review the list content, and add any notes as required.
    2. Right-click and choose Publish > Approve and Withdraw List or Publish > Reject Withdrawal Request.
    When the request is approved or rejected, the list's status is updated.
    • If the request is approved, the list is withdrawn.
    • If the request is rejected, the 'Pending approval' flag is removed and the list remains published.
    Note: The person who submitted the withdrawal request will not receive any automatic notification about the approval or rejection of their request.

If required, a withdrawn list can be re-published. See Publishing a Favorites List.
