Archive/retire a published/merged page

[sregier206]

How do I archive or retire an existing page after it has been merged?

This is a standard option in other KBs that I have used in the past. I am an admin, I should be able to do this.

We have discovered duplicate information in two articles/pages; I need to correct this asap.

I don't want to hide the page and still have it searchable, I want it archive it and only be able to search it from the internal page if needed.

Thank you.

Hi @sregier206,

Remember that GitBook maintains a history of all changes in a space. If you delete a page, it still exists in the space history and you can always get the content back by going through the revision history in the space. This is typically how users iterate versions of their docs in GitBook.

If that's not an option you could set up page options to hide the page and disable it from crawling/search indexing/AI search. This essentially makes the page invisible (though it's still accessible via the direct link).
