Common questions
If I remove a page, are the comments I hid unhidden again?
No. Nothing you did to comments is undone and nothing happens on Facebook or Instagram; the page stops being one of yours in CommentWatchDog and leaves the sidebar.
Should I pause or remove a page I am not using for a while?
Pause it. Pausing is the reversible option: the page collects nothing and runs no rules, but everything you set up is kept. Removing is the tidy option for a page you no longer run, and takes it out of the sidebar.
Does a removed page still count towards my plan?
No. A removed page stops collecting comments, and live moderation counts one credit per incoming comment, so nothing more is counted for it.

Problem: The page is still in the sidebar
Fix: Reload the page in your browser; the sidebar is built when the app loads.
