Enable or Disable Content Types in Site Management Tools

The SMT Content Manager lets you enable and disable core content types and custom content types. When disabled, the content type is not displayed in the side panel for editing, and you can't add any of that content type. However, if the site already contains content of that custom type, it'll still display on the site.

To enable or disable a content type:

  1. Click Settings, denoted by the gear icon, on the toolbar. This opens the Content Manager. Disabled content types are displayed in the Inactive Content Types list and enabled content types are displayed in the Active Content Types list.

  2. Drag a content type from the Inactive Content Types list to the Active Content Types list to enable that content type.

  3. Drag a content type from the Active Content Types list to the Inactive Content Types list to disable that content type.

    Note:

    When you make a content type inactive, no new content of that type can be added to the site. Any content of that type that is already available on the site, continues to display.

  4. Exit the Content Manager by selecting a different mode from the toolbar.
