Unpublishing a single page
How to take a page offline without affecting the rest of the site.
How to unpublish one page
Sometimes you need a single page gone from the live site without taking anything else down — a seasonal offer that's ended, a service you've paused, a page that needs rework. Avago lets you unpublish a single page while the rest of the site stays exactly as it is. Find the page in your pages list or the publish dashboard and choose to unpublish it. The rest of your site keeps serving normally; only that one page comes off.
What visitors see at that URL
Once a page is unpublished, it's no longer served at its address. A visitor who follows an old link or bookmark won't reach the page — they'll get a not-found response rather than the old content. Because of that:
- Remove or update any navigation links that pointed to the page, so visitors aren't sent to a dead end.
- If the page had value in search, consider redirecting its URL to a relevant live page rather than leaving a bare not-found.
How to bring it back
Unpublishing doesn't delete anything — the page and all its content stay in your project. When you're ready, open the page and publish it again, and it returns to its URL just as it was. If you unpublished it to make changes, do the edits first, then republish so visitors only ever see the finished version.
Unpublishing is the right tool when you want a page temporarily gone but intend to keep it. If a page is gone for good, redirect its URL to a live page so you don't strand inbound links or lose the search equity it built up.
