Demoting a content item

Demote a content item in order to make it available in a lower Publication (a child Publication, grandchild Publication and so on).

Before you begin

You must be sufficiently authorized to demote a content item.

Procedure

  1. Access the Content Manager Explorer website.
  2. In the tree area, navigate to the location of the content item or content items you want to demote.
  3. In the content area, select the content item or content items you want to demote.
  4. In the Organize ribbon toolbar, select Demote.
  5. If there are multiple possible Publications to which you can demote the content item, select the Publication in the dialog that opens and click OK.
  6. If prompted, confirm that Content Manager Explorer should delete all previous versions of the content item(s) you want to demote.

Results

Content Manager Explorer demotes your content item(s). If at least one item could not be demoted, an error message reports this fact and explains why.
