Issue/Question
How do I remove a file from production but keep it in Omni CMS?
Environment
Resolution
This process should only be used to remove content from production on a small scale (i.e.
one or two small areas of a website) rather than an entire website or directory. Using this method to remove an entire site from production can cause many problems. If you need to have a full website removed from production please see
this article.
If you would like to remove a file from Production but keep it within Omni CMS please complete the following steps.
- Log into Omni CMS.
- Hover over Content.
- Click Pages.
- Find your site, you can use the filter option if necessary.
- Click on your site name from the Name column of the list.
- Verify you are in the Staging view by looking to the far left on the column header bar. You should see two options; the one underlined in red indicates the currently selected view. Click Staging if it is not already selected.
- Navigate to the file you wish to remove from production.
- Hover over the file you wish to remove and, from the Options column, hover over File and select Recycle.
Note: If this page / image is linked anywhere you should receive a notice. If it is linked somewhere other than from within your site, please find the Main Site Contact of that site and have them update their link.
- Once you have completed recycling the file, please follow the steps outlined in this article and make sure to NOT publish the file afterwards.
