In the Galley and Story view you can remove stories from the storylist panel by removing them from the Incopy story list.

Issue
When I open a layout in InCopy, all linked stories are listed in both the Galley and Story views. In addition, all linked stories as well as embedded text is visible in the Layout view. Is there a way to remove stories from the lists in the Galley and Story view without removing the corresponding frames from the Layout view?

Solution
You can remove the set of linked stories from the Incopy Story List. The removed linked stories would not be shown in the Galley and Story view. The Layout view would still show all stories including those removed from the other views. Here is the code snippet that shows how to do it.

do{
  //Initialize the document here
  InterfacePtr<IDocument> doc;
  IDataBase* db = ::GetDataBase(doc);
  InterfacePtr<IInCopyStoryList> icsList(db,db->GetRootUID(),IID_IINCOPYSTORYLIST);
  if (!icsList)
    break;  
  db->BeginTransaction();
  // Now we filter the InCopyStoryList
  for (int32 i = (icsList->GetStoryCount() - 1); i >= 0; --i)
  {
    UID storyToRemove = icsList->GetNthStoryUID(i);
    icsList->RemoveStory(storyToRemove);
  }
  db->EndTransaction();
  Utils<IGalleyUtils> galleyUtils;
  IControlView * gView = galleyUtils->FindGalleyView(doc);
  InterfacePtr<IStoryManager> storyManager(gView,   UseDefaultIID());
  if (!storyManager)
    break;
  //Resync the currently open view with the changed InCopyStoryList
  storyManager->SyncStoriesToManaged();
}while(1);

You will also have to redraw the StoryList panel in case it is already visible.
