Deviation Actions
Exert even more control over your profile and galleries.
Deviants sometimes want to store certain works of art currently in their gallery. Like spring cleaning, they could intend to republish later to put deviations back in the spotlight, or perhaps they're looking for a more permanent storage solution that's less final than deletion, should they need to reference it later.
Think of unlisting sort of like sending something back to drafts! It's still in your studio, but it's not visible in your gallery, ready for any action you may wish to take on it in the future!
To unlist, click the “...” menu on the deviation page, then select “Unlist.” You can also unlist directly from your Studio!
If you decide you want to publish the deviation again, click "Submit" like you would on any item in your Studio.
When you unlist:
Your deviation goes to your Sta.sh.
Deviants with a link to the previously published page will no longer be able to access it, but like any item in your Sta.sh, you can provide trusted deviants with the new direct link.
The deviation will lose all favourites and inclusions in collections (including Private Collections), badges, and any group associations.
All metadata including title, tags, and sale history will be retained.
Comments from when it was published will be temporarily hidden while it's unlisted. However, new Sta.sh comments can be added.
When you republish:
All previously published comments that were attached to the deviation return.
As happens now, comments made while the deviation was in Sta.sh will not remain after publishing.
The deviation returns to any gallery or tier it was previously included in.
Migration of Legacy Storage Feature
Long-time deviants might remember the legacy Storage feature. The ability to store new deviations was sunset previously, and as part of this update, this feature will be removed.
If you had any deviations in your storage previously, those will be migrated to a new folder called “Legacy Storage” in your Sta.sh. This migration process has already started, and all deviants with legacy storage deviations will be migrated within the coming weeks.
