Why it's important to remove old content

• Search engines may rank an old page with outdated content above a newer page with current content.
• Some work may be required to keep outdated content aligned with evolving standards and best practices.
• Though you may have reasons to keep an archive - e.g. as a record of past events - your visitors won't necessarily understand the details aren't current.

How to archive old content

WMS revisions

Every time you edit and save your webpages, the WMS聽 automatically generates an archived version of your old content called a revision. You can view and restore revisions by logging into your site, accessing a webpage, and clicking the moderate tab. This will allow you to view or revert to (i.e. republish) any revision of your webpage since your page was created.

This means there's no need to worry about what could happen if you need information that's been deleted from a page. You'll always have the option to view and share past revisions. You can even republish old content if necessary.
