Publish / Unpublish a Page or Node

In Drupal there are two ways to publish and unpublish a node:

  1. Using the Edit page for a node.
  2. Modifying the state using the Administrator "Content" page.

With the Central Web Services implementation of Drupal, the Edit page has the publish/unpublish checkbox disabled. This was done to integrate the Referee module into Drupal and separate "Edits" from "Publish/Unpublish" actions. In order to unpublish a node, it requires gatekeeper access, and must be performed through #2.

Unpublish a Node

  1. Login as a gatekeeper/administrator
  2. Navigate to the "Content" page, either by clicking on the "Content" link on the navigation bar, or by clicking the "Content" link on the Administer page.
  3. Check the box next to the node(s) you would like to unpublish.
  4. Select unpublish from the "Update Options" drop down menu and then click "Update"
  5. Confirm your actions
