Removing items from Bundles in Experience Manager

If needed, you can remove a Component or webpage from a Bundle while editing the item in Content Manager Explorer .

Before you begin

This task requires that you or your group has permission to remove items from the Bundle. Note that the permissions can vary from Bundle to Bundle.

If a Bundle is involved in an active workflow process, you can remove items from it only if both of the following are true:
  • The Bundle is currently not in a workflow state that prohibits the removing of items from it.
  • None of the items you intend to remove are currently being worked on by a user that is not you.

Procedure

  1. On an editable webpage, start editing by clicking the pencil button in the top right corner.
  2. Select the border of a Component, or the border of the entire webpage, and do one of the following:
    • Click the Show Properties border button that appears in the top right corner.
    • Click Properties in the Home ribbon toolbar tab.

    The properties of the Component or webpage appear.

  3. If the item belongs to one or more Bundles, click the right-hand side of the Bundles line.
    A new screen shows the Bundle or Bundles to which the item belongs.
  4. Select the Bundle from which you want to remove this item and select Remove from Bundle.

    The button may be disabled. This is the case if the Workflow Process Status of the Bundle is listed as "Running" (in green) and if the Bundle has reached a Workflow state that disallows removal of items from the Bundle.

    If the button was enabled and you clicked it, Experience Manager prompts you to confirm.
  5. Click Yes to continue.
    The item is removed from the Bundle.

Results

The selected items are removed from the Bundle. Note the following:
  • If the Bundle is in workflow, the items are taken out of workflow in its current state. It retains its current approval status.
  • Some items required to be part of a Bundle. If you removed such an item from a Bundle and it is no longer in any Bundle, you must add the item to at least one Bundle again, and then complete that Bundle's workflow process. This is necessary before you can check in any changes to the item.
