Deleting a Template

To delete a template, click Delete next to the template.

You can only delete a template if it is not assigned as any folder’s default template. If you choose a template that is assigned as a default, a screen tells you why you cannot delete it and lists the folders for which it is the default.

If you delete a template that is not used as a default but is applied to content, that content’s template is changed to its folder’s default template.

Updating a Template

Use the update command to change all references from an old to a new template. For example, your old template is named MyTemplate.aspx. You can want to replace all references to it to Updatetemplate.aspx.

To do this, follow these steps.

1. Click Update next to the template.

2. A new screen appears.

3. Enter the new template name.

4. Click Save ().
