now that we are finished using this particular timeline, it may be useful to delete those restored assets. this will help to manage 
the space available in your local storage. 

Go the application’s main toolbar and select the “Unlink online assets” button. 

With the new archive/restore workflow, we have greatly increased the benefits of having a proxy-capable system. the ability to 
manage, edit, and synchronize on an as needed basis helps to improve the management of our high-resolution storage pools. this 
can result in a significant cost savings over time. 

any asset in the timeline that has a corresponding high-resolution asset offline will be unlinked and the timeline asset will change 
to display an orange line. these assets are now considered offline assets again. Since the restored high-resolution asset has no 
references to it, you will be able to locate it in the restore bin and delete it. now the sequence can exist without the overhead of 
maintaining all the high-resolution assets locally.

note: the ability to unlink high-resolution media is also available within the “Show References” dialog box, which allows the user 
to unlink high-resolution media from multiple timelines at once.

partial File Restore (pFR) support in 7.0 and above is described in the following table. Full archive and restore is supported in all of 
the listed formats.

*as of v7.1.

note: When using a generic archive 
interface, partial file restore is not sup-
ported. the above workflow will still 
function correctly, but restores will be 
for the entire file.
