🔒 Permissions
Closing or removing an Article is a right reserved for space administrators and system administrators.
An administrator has the ability to manage spaces from the platform settings:
to close an Article
to delete an Article
Closing an Article
When an Article is closed, the following occurs:
The Article will no longer be available for contributions, meaning users cannot post in this Article anymore.
Access to the Article will be revoked, even for users who were previously members (it will disappear from their navigation).
Members will still have access to the Articles in search results, even after the Article is closed.
📝 Notes
Closing an Article does not automatically archive the Articles within it; this is a separate action that can be performed using bulk actions.
Deleting an Article
The result of deleting an Article is:
The Article will completely disappear from the platform. To carry out this action, all content must be cleared from the Article beforehand.
📝 Notes
In some cases, you may encounter an error message when attempting to delete an Article, even if it appears to be empty. There may still be drafts, archived items, or invalid content present. Use the appropriate filter in the Article library to locate and address these items.
