Delete and restore a content page
Goal: Learn how restoring pages works, and how it can affect other content.
- Delete a page in the Personal banking channel – for example, the Advanced account page.
- Navigate through Content management to the Recycle bin application.
- Select the page you just deleted.
- Click Restore and confirm the action.
- Find the restored page in its original location. You’ll see it is restored in the Draft state.
- Review its content.
- Open the Used in tab to verify where the page is referenced (for example, in other content or product pages).
- Publish the page.
- Verify where it appears on the site.
Restoring a page may restore its references elsewhere. Always check the Used in tab before publishing.
Delete and restore a reusable asset
Goal: Learn how to delete and restore an image, and understand why checking the Used in tab is critical for reusable content.
- Open Content hub and navigate to Brand assets folder.
- Select an item – for example, the Kbank logo image – and check it’s usage in the Used in tab. In our case, it’s on the Personal banking homepage, in a hero banner, and in some promotional emails.
- Delete the selected asset.
- Confirm that the asset no longer appears where it was previously used.
- Open the Recycle bin application.
- Select the deleted content item.
- Click Restore and confirm the action.
- Open the restored item and go to the Used in tab.
- Review all places where the asset is referenced.
- Decide whether the asset should be published.
- If some references are no longer suitable (for example, in a specific promotional email), remove such a reference from the page or content item.
- Publish the asset.
- Verify where the asset reappears.
Key takeaway: Restoring reusable content can impact multiple pages or emails at once.
