Unpublish a document or image

Use this guide to unpublish a document or image in Assets. 

Important - referenced assets

The assets must be unlinked from pages before attempting to remove or unpublish. Adobe Experience Manager will warn you if you attempt to unpublish an asset that is linked to a page.

 Therefore you should check to see if the asset is referenced first.

Step 1: Navigate to Assets

• Log in to Adobe Experience Manager and select Assets. 

Step 2: Change to column view

• If your assets open in Card View, you can change this by selecting the View icon in the top right, below your User icon. Select Column View from the drop-down as this is easiest to use. See our guide on Views for more. 

• Your school's folder will already be selected.
• Scroll to the right to see your assets.

• Select the folder in which your document or image is stored.

Step 3: Unpublish the document or image 

• Once you have found your document or image, select the icon to the left of the file name. The tick will appear and your selection will turn blue.
• Select Unpublish in the menu bar that appears across the top of the screen.
• If you don't see Unpublish, select the ellipsis in the menu bar. Select Unpublish from the drop-down option. 

• If you still don't see Unpublish it is because you are an Author. You will need to request the document or image to be unpublished by an approver.
• Select Unpublish in the pop-up to confirm you want to unpublish the document or image.
