Deleting and Restoring a Page
One delete is reversible and one is not. Knowing which is which.
There are two deletes in Webby and the difference matters.
The bin button on a page row is reversible: the page moves to Pages Archived and keeps all of its content. The Delete permanently button on that archived tab is the one that cannot be undone.
Steps
Delete a page
Press the bin button on the page's row and confirm. The page leaves Pages Created and appears under Pages Archived.
Its blocks go with it. Nothing is thrown away at this stage.
Find it again on Pages Archived
The tab appears as soon as there is anything in it, and shows each page with its type, how many blocks will come back, and when it was deleted.
If the tab is not there, you have not deleted anything.
Restore it
Restore brings the page back with its content — as a draft, not as it was.
That is deliberate. A page you deleted and changed your mind about should get a look before visitors see it again, so you review it and publish when you are satisfied.
Or delete it for good
Delete permanently erases the page and all of its content. There is no archive behind the archive and no restore afterwards.
The confirmation spells this out, and it is the only delete in Webby that genuinely cannot be undone.
Warning: Deleting a page does not remove links to it. If your navigation or another page still points at that address, those links now go nowhere — and the page will reappear on Pages Recommended if the link was in your header or footer. Check the Link Map after deleting anything that was linked to.
Result
The page is off your site, and either recoverable from Pages Archived or permanently gone, depending on which delete you used.
