Unpublishing Content & Assets
When content and assets are unpublished, they are only removed from the Production web server. They will remain in the CMS Lite in an unpublished state, and may still be viewed on the Quality Assurance (QA) web server. Alternately, if a page or asset is deleted, it will be removed from both environments and a service request will need to be submitted to the GDX Service Desk to have it restored.
If necessary, navigate to the applicable pane listed below. The Unpublish dialog box will be displayed when the unpublish action is selected.
- Select the nodes (pages) or assets for publishing
- Select the Assets button to view the Asset Status Pane
- Use the [Unpublish] action button above the Content or Asset Status grid
- Select the nodes (pages) for unpublishing
- Choose Unpublish Selected from the Action menu
- Select the [Unpublish] action button at the bottom of the Content Pane
- Select the asset(s), then the [Unpublish] action button
- Select the [Unpublish] action button at the bottom of the Asset Settings Pane
