Deleting content from an Experience

Experiences allow you to organize your content and distribute it to the relevant users or user groups in Showpad. You have the ability to delete content from within an Experience on Showpad. This method only removes the asset from the Experience, not the Content Library, so that you can still use that asset in other relevant Experiences if desired. This is a good tool to use if you know you may want to use the asset elsewhere, but it no longer fits with the organization of a particular Experience. 

Content can be deleted from Experiences manually, or if you utilize Smart Folders, you can edit the associated tags to automatically delete content. Keep in mind that if your asset is just outdated and you only want to replace it with a newer version, you should update the file within the content tab instead of deleting it.
