UWE Bristol guidance: Editing in Panopto (June 2022)

Panopto guidance: Editing a Panopto recording

• You need to make edits to your recording before you submit it for online assessment.
• The marker won’t see any edits made by you after you make your submission.
• You must resubmit the assignment if you make any edits after you submit.

Panopto automatically archives any recording which has not been viewed in 18 months.

• Archived recordings are stored in the archive indefinitely unless restored (not deleted).
• Recordings in the archive are automatically permanently deleted from Panopto ten years after the date they were originally uploaded – in line with the University policy.
• Restoration of an archived recording can take up to 48 hours.
• Archived videos will still be associated with a folder in the library but will not display in the folder list view.
• If a recording is restored, it will appear in its associated folder once it is ready to view.
