Guide: Remove a page
This page: https://commentwatchdog.com/help/pages/remove-a-page
Topic: Pages and connections
Time: about 2 minutes
Who can do it: Owner or Administrator
Author: https://anantgupta.xyz (Anant Gupta, founder of CommentWatchDog)
Start in the app: https://app.commentwatchdog.com/en/settings/pages
Result when done: A page you no longer run leaves your workspace cleanly.
Context: Removing takes the page out of your workspace. Nothing happens on Facebook or Instagram, and nothing you did to comments is undone; the page stops being one of yours here.

Before you start:
1. Removing changes nothing on the platform.
2. Pausing is the reversible option; removing is the tidy one.
3. A removed page can be added again from Available to add.

Steps:
Step 1 of 2: Open the Pages tab.
Where: Settings, then Pages. Connected pages are at the top.

You should see: Each connected page with Remove at the end of its row.

Step 2 of 2: Press Remove.
Where: At the end of the row. The page leaves Connected pages and returns to Available to add.

You should see: It disappears from the sidebar and stops collecting comments.

If something is off:
Problem: Did removing delete my comments
Fix: Nothing was deleted on the platform. The comments already collected stop being shown with that page.
Problem: I removed the wrong page
Fix: Add it again from Available to add; new comments resume from that moment.
Problem: The page is still in the sidebar
Fix: Reload the page in your browser; the sidebar is built when the app loads.

Common questions:
Question: If I remove a page, are the comments I hid unhidden again?
Answer: 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.
Question: Should I pause or remove a page I am not using for a while?
Answer: 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.
Question: Does a removed page still count towards my plan?
Answer: No. A removed page stops collecting comments, and live moderation counts one credit per incoming comment, so nothing more is counted for it.
