Can Handouts be re-hidden?

I have created several scroll images with their appropriate contents in WORD; printed them into a PDF format; used IRFANVIEW to "open" that PDF file and then to re-save it as an actual JPG image file. This JPG loads very nicely into the Handouts load file section and can be seen perfectly by the players as their visual Handout. Now I would like to provide a "scroll" to a player that can be read, but will then "self-distruct" after a certain time. Would I need to actually DELETE that Handout or is there a way to simply re-hide it without actually destroying my copy, too? And would deleting a Handout actually remove it from the Players after they have access to it? I can test some of these approaches, but I don't see a way to re-hide a handout once it is exposed to the Players. Ron Welchly, Gamemaster

If the player has the handout open it will stay open, but you can always remove it from the players' journals so they can't open it again.

You don't have to actually delete the handout, just remove the player's access to it. The handout will remain visible in your own Journal, unless you archive it.

Thanks for the suggestions ... I'm still a "newbie" to Roll20, but am really enjoying getting back into the gaming possibilities.
