Panopto – Retention Tags

Panopto folders over a certain age (defined in the terms when using the Panopto Recorder) are deleted each year. To stop a folder from being deleted, you can add a retention tag to the description of that folder.

To do this, go to your course and then expand the ‘Resources and support materials‘ section.

Once that has expanded, you will then need to scroll down the page a bit, where you will see ‘Panopto Recorded Sessions‘, which you can now select.

Blackboard Ultra courses can find the recorded sessions area by expanding ‘Resources and support materials’, and then select the ‘Panopto Recorded Sessions’ button.

Once the Panopto interface has loaded on your course, select the ‘Settings’ cog icon in the top right of the Panopto display.

Select ‘Edit’ under the description area for the folder (there are a few edit links on this page).

If the folder already has a description, add the retention tag at the end.
