Undo something that went live

Every article and change CitedSEO puts live can be undone from Opportunities › Shipped.

Anything CitedSEO put live can be undone. Go to Opportunities › Shipped, open the ⋮ menu beside the change and pick Undo this change, or Take down for a new article. CitedSEO asks once, since it changes your live site.

Undoing a change from Shipped: the ⋮ menu, Undo this change, then Undo it, and the change is marked Undone

What undoing does

Each entry in Shipped says what went live, with the page and the day it shipped:

EntryWhat undoing it does
Page updatedThe page goes back to how it was before this change.
New titleThe old title and description go back.
Links addedThe links CitedSEO added come out again.
New articleThe article comes down and goes back to Articles as a draft, ready to publish again. Its address stops working until then.

The confirmation has Keep it, which changes nothing, and Undo it (or Take down). Once it's done, the entry is crossed out and marked Undone or Taken down.

Undoing an older change keeps every newer one. If a later change touched the same part of the page, CitedSEO can't take the older one out on its own, so nothing changes and it says why.

When the undo goes live

The page goes back on your site straight away, unless the article has a newer version waiting for your OK; then the undo waits for your OK too. A new article you take down comes off your feed, and on WordPress its post moves to the trash. To put it back, publish it again from Articles.

From the article itself

An article's page lists its Versions in the side panel, each with the same ⋮ menu, so you can undo one change from there too.
