Unapproving and Unpublishing Stories

Inception enables users with the appropriate user permissions to unpublish a published story or unapprove an approved story. After a user unpublishes a story, Inception removes the story from its social media site.

You can also use the Manage Feeds panel to delete stories directly from Facebook and Twitter. Deleting a story from Facebook or Twitter through the Managed Feeds panel does not change the approval or publication status of the story in Inception.
