Autopilot & Publishing
How to pull a live article back off your site, and how to bring it back later if you change your mind.
Sometimes an article that already went live turns out to be wrong for your site after all. Take this down reverts it without losing the work behind it.
Taking an article down reverts the live item on your connected site back to a draft (on Webflow, this uses the same mechanism as unpublishing an item there directly). The content stays intact in your CMS and in HarperFlow; only its public visibility changes. It's the recoverable alternative to deleting something outright.
People typically reach for this after spotting a factual mistake once an article is already live, after a product change makes something outdated, or simply because a piece reads differently once it's actually on the site than it did in review.
If an article is already off your site, for instance because you unpublished it directly in your CMS, clicking Take this down in HarperFlow simply confirms that state rather than failing or erroring.
A taken-down article shows a Restore option, the same one skipped articles get. Restoring sends it back to pending review with its old publish time cleared, so you'll need to give it a fresh slot; see Article states.
Taking an article down, or restoring one afterward, doesn't touch your article quota in either direction. That was already spent the moment the article was first written, so pulling it offline temporarily doesn't refund it, and bringing it back doesn't spend a new one.
Taking articles down, and restoring them afterward, is limited to your organization's owners and admins.
Tip: Use Take this down for anything you need off your site right away and might want back later. It's built to be reversible, so there's little downside to using it as soon as you spot a problem.
