Delete Content

To delete a content item, select it in the work plan, then right-click on it to access the Contextual Menu.

Jahia will react depending on two criteria:

Is the content real content or a reference?

• If the selected item is real content, the menu will propose a “Delete” option.

• If the item is only a reference (an alias to display content which in fact is not actually located here in your page) then the menu will propose a “Remove” option. In this case, the item will disappear from the page, but not from your repository, nor will the other locations it may be in use. If you are about to delete content that is displayed as a reference in various locations, then Jahia will also warn you about that!

Is the content already published or not?

• If the content you are trying to delete has never been published, then the content is deleted instantly (and cannot be recalled later).

• If this content has already been published (and so is visible in Live Mode by visitors) then it is not deleted instantly but is “Marked for Deletion” and will be truly deleted when the publication will occur. If the publication is approved, then the content will disappear at the same time - live and when edit so that the site remains consistent in all cases. Until the true deletion, the content appears with a special layout (strikethrough texts).
