Target Audience: Site Administrators, Site Managers
When a page or article in the Web Management System (WMS) is no longer needed, you can delete or unpublish it.
In this article:
This is the simplest way to unpublish a page or an article:
Note: Child pages of unpublished pages/articles remain published, but will not appear in the menu until they are assigned to a new parent menu item.
An alternative way to unpublish a page/article:
Please note that deleting a page is a permanent action that removes data entirely from the website.
To delete a page or article from the New Draft tab:
Once you click Delete, all revisions of the page/article are deleted.
You can also delete a page/article via My Workbench:
Note 1: If you are deleting a top-level page with a primary menu item and it has child pages, the prompt to delete the page will also include a list of the child pages. When the primary menu item is removed, its immediate children will be automatically moved to the top level of the menu. If this is not the desired outcome, the child pages should be moved before the parent page is deleted.
Note 2: After a page is deleted, all the files embedded on that page will be queued for automatic deletion from the site's File List (in My Workbench) unless the files are embedded on other pages, in which case they will be unaffected.
Note 3: There is no way to delete a specific revision of a page/article.
