It’s very simple to deactivate a digital review copy in Edelweiss, which will remove the Download/Request button from the title listing.
Find the title in the Review Copies > Administer area on your Administration page, then select a title by clicking on its row. Under Actions, you’ll see various options:
If you deactivate, your now inactive DRC title will appear in red font and will no longer appear in your list of available DRCs on Edelweiss.
If you ever need to reactivate a deactivated DRC, simply select the title and choose Reactivate using the same process. Be sure to confirm that the on-site and device expiration dates for this newly reactivated DRC are set appropriately, to avoid potential issues with approved DRC requesters downloading the reactivated title.
If you need to fully delete a DRC file, if there is no chance you’ll ever want to reactivate it, choose Delete Selected under Actions.
WARNING: Deleting a DRC will remove all traces of it. You will need to re-upload a new DRC file (following our standard DRC posting procedure) if you ever want to “reactivate” this DRC. When in doubt, Deactivate instead!
