Delete content from a Classic Experience

Note: This article is about the new beta Admin App, which is still in development. Changes may occur. Please provide feedback directly in the beta app.

Experiences allow you to organize and distribute your content to the relevant users or user groups in Showpad. When necessary, you can delete content from within an Experience. This method only removes the asset from the Experience, not the Content Library, so you can still use that asset in other relevant Experiences if desired.

Content can be deleted from Experiences manually, or if you utilize Smart Folders, you can edit the associated tags to filter out the content automatically. Remember that if your asset is outdated and you only want to replace it with a newer version, you should upload a new version within the asset details panel in the Files library instead of deleting it.
