It can be retried, where it will be thrown back through the Store and Forward system to see if it will go through properly now assuming the original reason why it was quarantined has been fixed. It can be deleted so that it is no longer taking up space in the Store and Forward system. It can also be exported to your local machine, where you can save it to try again later. The you can import the file back on the same page when you have resolved the issue that caused the data to be quarantined in the first place.
