Publish, unpublish, or archive

Control whether a story is visible to readers.

Last reviewed 14 August 2026

Summary

Control whether a story is visible to readers.

Steps

  1. Publish only after validation and preview review.
  2. Unpublish to remove public availability when policy, quality, or business reasons require it.
  3. Archive drafts or older work you do not want active in the workspace.

What to expect

  • Removing public availability may not erase records needed for purchases, safety, legal, accounting, or support history.
  • Readers may lose access if content is removed for policy or legal reasons.

Troubleshooting

  • If a published story is still visible after unpublishing, refresh and check release/indexing state.
  • For removal caused by moderation, use the appeal route when eligible.
