Reverting a story to draft

Whether it’s a story part that you’ve published by accident or just one that you no longer want your readers to see, you don’t have to resort to deleting it - you can just unpublish the part. This will revert a story part back to draft, and you will keep all of your views, votes, and comments on the part.

The great thing about reverting a part to draft is that you can keep it and it’s invisible to everyone else; if you delete a part, it can’t be restored - it’s gone forever.
