Deleting a Publication

Delete a Publication to remove the Publication and all of its content from the Content Manager. If this Publication is in use as a Site Type, sites based on this Site Type will stop working. You need to manually give those sites a new Site Type in Topology Manager. Similarly, any mappings in Topology Manager that use the Publication Key of this Publication will need to be removed, or updated to use a different Publication Key.

Before you begin

  • No content in the Publication is published.

  2. In the Publications navigation pane, select the Content Management node.
  3. In the list view, select the Publication you want to delete.
  4. Open Ribbon toolbar Home tab and click Delete.

Results

The Content Manager deletes the Publication and all items in the Publication.
