## Deleting a page

> Macro (excerpt)
> 
> Deleting a page that has been published will have different effects depending on whether the page to be removed is in the source space or the target space.
> 
> Archiving a page in either space has a different impact  to deleting a page - if a page is archived in either space this prevents any further publishing action for the page.
> 
> **Deleting a page in the source space**
> 
> - if you delete a page on the source space, you will need to manually delete the page in the target space as well
> 
> > 📝 If you only delete the page in the source space, the page will remain in the target space, even after a space publish action.
> 
> **Deleting a page in the target space**
> 
> - if you delete a page in the target space, the source space page will be set with a publishing status of **NEW**
> - if this page is no longer required you will need to manually delete the page in the source space as well
> 
> > 📝 Publishing the source page again will create a new page as version one in the target space with a new contentID.
> 
> Instead of deleting a page you may have decided to ***archive the page***. 
> 
> **Archiving a page in the target space**
> 
> - if you archive a page in the target space, the source space page cannot be published again until the page is unarchived or deleted
> - publishing byline status remains on the target space page
> - the archive action does not change the publishing status
> - editing the target space page will update the publishing and sync status
> 
> > 📝 The source page retains the link to the archived target space published page.
