Sometimes it is necessary to delete stories from your runorder. When you select Delete from the
context menu a dialog box will appear asking the question “Sure you want to delete this item?”

You can also access this function by selecting Script >> Delete from the menu bar.

You can also access this function by selecting Script >> Toggle Hold State from the menu bar.
