Removing or Deleting a Merchandising Zone

Though removing a merchandising zone makes it unavailable for visitors to your site, it does not permanently delete it. However, if you no longer need a merchandising zone you are able to permanently delete it.

Removing a Merchandising Zone

When you remove a merchandising zone the visibility end date and time is set to “now.” For details, see Visibility Dates. If you have unpublished content and you decide to remove it rather than publish it, you can choose to discard or expire the content. For more information, see Discard Content Vs Expiring Content.

To remove a merchandising zone:

  1. Log in to Site Management Tools. For details, see Log In.

  2. Go to the page that contains the merchandising zone.

  3. Click Edit Mode on the Site Management toolbar.

  4. Point to the merchandising zone. This highlights the zone and displays the content controls.

  5. Click Remove.

  6. When prompted, click Yes to remove the content.

  7. When you are ready, publish your changes. For details, see Review and Publish Your Site.
