My Favorites menu doesn't remove retired articles

We've added the Favorites menu from the Employee Center. Users can favorite KB articles and requests. However, if a favorited article is retired, it isn't removed from the employee's favorites. This results in a broken link since they can't see retired articles. Is there a fix for this?

Hi @Elizabeth32 ,

End users should not be able to view the retired articles in the portal, even if they have the permalink.

Is the article definitely in the retired state? Does the user you're testing with have any elevated roles such as knowledge, knowledge_manager,  knowledge_admin?

They can't see the contents of the retired article; they get a "record not found" error message. The article is definitely retired, but it's not removed from their Favorites once retired.
