Deleting via a workflow

For the purpose of deleting elements in SiteArchitect and ContentCreator, a project-specific workflow can be created and linked directly to the existing controls (buttons on the menu bar, context menu entry) for deleting elements. Instead of simply deleting an object, such as a page, the workflow can be used to perform more complex delete functions, e.g. to delete objects that are dependent on the page at the same time.

If deletion via a workflow is configured within a project, the permissions configuration for the workflow has to be adapted. The conventional editorial permissions that are defined for a user or a group to allow deletion only apply if the permissions configuration is adapted accordingly in the workflow.

Below are two examples of how to delete objects via workflows:

• “Delete” workflow: For deleting individual elements and subtrees
• “ContentDeleteDemo” workflow: For deleting structured data

Deletion via a workflow is only available if the project administrator has specifically configured the project to allow this.
