Previewing Content

Previewing is your content's final check before going live. It's like a dress rehearsal, ensuring that the layout, images, and text, align perfectly with your design expectations.

How to Do It:

1. Navigate to your chosen content item.

   

2. There are two methods for previewing content: the first is via Duomode, which is enabled by default, offering a side-by-side view of the content and editor. The second method involves using the dedicated “Preview” button, followed by selecting the "Draft Preview" option to see how the content looks before finalization.

Unpublishing a Content Item

Unpublishing is the act of removing content from public view without deleting it. It's akin to taking a book off a library shelf; the book isn't gone, just not currently on display.

How to Do It:

1. Identify the content you want to remove from the live/production site.

2. Click on the dropdown button adjacent to the 'Published' label, which will reveal a set of options.

3. To unpublish the current version, select 'Unpublish Now' from the dropdown. However, if the published version differs from the one you're viewing, navigate to 'Manage Publish Status'.

4. In the 'Manage Publish Status' section, find the specific version you wish to unpublish and click the ‘Take Offline’ button for that version.

Deleting content is a permanent action, completely erasing it from your CMS. It's a step taken when content is no longer needed or relevant, ensuring your CMS remains clutter-free and up-to-date.

How to Do It:

1. Choose the content item you plan to delete. Note that only Multi-page and Dataset Models contain multiple items under them.

2. Find and click the 'More' button, typically represented by three dots.

3. Select 'Delete Item' from the menu. A confirmation modal will appear.

4. Confirm your decision by clicking 'Delete Item' again in the modal.
