What happens to currently hidden items?

Trakt Questions & Help
1

So with the new Drop feature, the Hide is gone. Are currently hidden items automagically converted to dropped?

2

also how do you “un-drop” shows? i also don’t see “drop show” from the website yet. it still shows as “hide this show”

No option anywhere to reverse dropped content… Tested this and they don’t appear in hidden items either. Seems very odd to overlook this and not include any information of how.

To un-drop a show, just watch a new episode and it will show up again. That topic is still unlisted, so there will be more explanation once the feature is live on the website.

5

This doesn’t work if you have automation set up. Also, I will never know which episode was the last one I watched

6

You will still be able to restore each item in the same way you used to do with hidden shows.

7

So there’s no dropped section to see what you’ve dropped and no convenient way to just undrop a show by selecting it? Or is this going to be implemented? So far this sounds like a complete downgrade to hidden items which included both of these features.

The feature is not live yet. Patience, young Padawan.

Every post in that unlisted topic yields a notification. Maybe worth noting for the future, that better to draft posts somewhere else :thinking: After I got notification, I thought it’s already live

More info and FAQ in the release thread.

Weird, seems like a permissions issue since I assumed the unlisted would actually keep things unlisted before made public. :sweat_smile:

Ah, I see it was added a bit later, than I checked :slight_smile:

I just tried and it didn’t preserve the date :frowning: All are marked as dropped just now

Hmm, I’ll need to look into that.

This should be fixed now. Just go back to the hidden section and transfer the dropped again and it will update the timestamp.

22

Yes, looks like the dates are correct now :folded_hands:

23

so, if I want to casually watch an episode of a dropped show every now and then, I will have to drop it again every time? It would be nice to make the auto un-drop optional.

edit: also, the whole black and white thing seems a little too much, no? a simpler indication that doesn’t interfere with the art would suffice.

Consider just hiding it, if you plan to casually watch it now and then. That’s not dropping :thinking:
