I need to update our employee page to reflect our current roster. However, one of the former employees contributed blog content that I don’t want to delete. My understanding is if I delete his profile outright, the content he contributed will be deleted as well. If that is correct, what would be the best way to avoid that?
I had read that I could possibly add a collection field that toggles as “Current employee: Yes/No” but am thinking there’s more to it than just adding that field (i.e. how would I address it when it comes to updating the page)?
Hi @nurdle The Blog Post will only be deleted if you delete the actual Blog Post from the Blog Posts collection. If you delete a Team Member, or a Blog Author, then it will delete that specific Member or Author from those collections.
I can see that on a blog post you’re simply referencing a Blog Author (not a Team Member). Therefore all you need to do is deselect the Blog Author which will disassociate any references to the Author, and the post will continue to display.
Thanks for the thorough explanation, @Esteban! With this knowledge, I also went in and archived the former employee. I really appreciate you looking into my confusion and clarifying how collection lists work with other elements of the site. Cheers!
