Delete and restore a content page

Goal: Learn how restoring pages works, and how it can affect other content.

  1. Delete a page in the Personal banking channel – for example, the Advanced account page.
  2. Navigate through Content management to the Recycle bin application.
  3. Select the page you just deleted.
  4. Click Restore and confirm the action.
  5. Find the restored page in its original location. You’ll see it is restored in the Draft state.
  6. Review its content.
  7. Open the Used in tab to verify where the page is referenced (for example, in other content or product pages).
  8. Publish the page.
  9. 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.

  1. Open Content hub and navigate to Brand assets folder.
  2. 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.
  3. Delete the selected asset.
  4. Confirm that the asset no longer appears where it was previously used.
  5. Open the Recycle bin application.
  6. Select the deleted content item.
  7. Click Restore and confirm the action.
  8. Open the restored item and go to the Used in tab.
  9. Review all places where the asset is referenced.
  10. Decide whether the asset should be published.
  11. If some references are no longer suitable (for example, in a specific promotional email), remove such a reference from the page or content item.
  12. Publish the asset.
  13. Verify where the asset reappears.

Key takeaway: Restoring reusable content can impact multiple pages or emails at once.
