It is possible to delete instances of a DITA map that has already been processed as follows:
- Create a control file, or edit an existing one.
- In the
<filePath>
element, enter the filename of the DITA map to modify. - In the
<instances>
element, add the DITAVAL instances. - In the
<publishStatus>
element, enter the valuedeleted
. - Create an archive containing the control file.
- Upload the archive through the DITA source used to publish the DITA map.
Users must name the control file FluidTopicsControlFile.xml
, and they must place it at the root level of the archive.
It is not necessary to include the DITA map or the DITAVAL instances in the archive.
Example:
The following lines show the content of a FluidTopicsControlFile.xml
file to delete the Novice
and Expert
instances of the map_to_delete_multi_ditavals
DITA map:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<controlFile>
<resources>
<resource>
<filePath>map_to_delete_multi_ditavals.ditamap</filePath>
<instances>
<instance>
<filePath>Novice.ditaval</filePath>
</instance>
<instance>
<filePath>Expert.ditaval</filePath>
</instance>
</instances>
<publishStatus>deleted</publishStatus>
</resource>
</resources>
</controlFile>
Once a user uploads the control file to Fluid Topics, the Novice
and Expert
instances of the map_to_delete_multi_ditavals
are no longer available.
