Remove Content
Learn how to remove content from Cascade.
Interactive Walkthrough
Instructions
There are two ways to remove content from the website:
- Unpublishing, which will remove the asset from the live website
- Deletion, which will remove the asset from Cascade entirely
The method you choose will depend on whether you want the asset to be removed permanently or temporarily.
Unpublish an Asset
To unpublish an asset:
- In the page menubar, click "More"
- In the dropdown, click "Unpublish"
This will remove the page from the live site.
Note About Unpublishing
Every asset on the website is automatically published every 24 hours. To prevent your asset from being republished, you will need to disable publishing.
Disable Publishing
To disable publishing:
- In the page menubar, click "Edit"
- Under the "Configure" tab, uncheck "Include when publishing"
This will prevent an asset from being published automatically.
Delete an Asset
To delete an asset:
- In the page menubar, click "More"
- In the dropdown, click "Delete"
- In the modal window, click "Delete" to confirm
This will move the asset to the trash bin, where it will remain until it is automatically purged after some time. You can view and recover items from the trash bin via the "Trash" link at the top of the site content sidebar.
Best Practices
Check for Relationships
Before removing an asset, it is important to check for relationships. Links to assets will not automatically be removed upon deletion.
To check for relationships:
- In the page menubar, click "More"
- In the dropdown, click "Relationships"
This will open a modal window. From here, you can see all assets that link to the current asset. You can navigate to a linked asset by clicking on the asset's name.
