Delete a component or section in a document type

When you delete a section in a document type, all components within the section are also deleted. When you delete a component, only the subsection component will be deleted.

Caution: Deleting a shared component will delete the component from all documents types with which it is shared. Check the Usage panel to view the document types, if any, that share the component.

1. Go to Architecture > Document Types, and double click on the document type you want to edit.
2. In the navigation panel, from the Show menu, select the document type from which you want to delete the component or section.
3. In the navigation panel, click the component or section to highlight it, then either click Delete at the top of the navigation panel, or right-click and then click Delete. A confirmation dialog displays.
4. Select one of the options below:
   • Click Remove link(s) to content if you just want to remove all links to the content that is used in the component you are deleting.
   • Click Remove link(s) to content, and Delete content from the Content Library (if permissioned) if you want to remove all links to the content and delete the content stored in the library.
5. Click Yes.
