Deleting External Sources or Types in Zendesk
What happens when I delete an external source or type in Zendesk?
Deleting an external source or type in Zendesk removes its associated content from your help center search. This action is irreversible and affects how content is indexed and displayed.
When you delete a source or type, the external content records linked to it will no longer be searchable. Additionally, any search crawlers or API integrations related to this source or type may be disrupted. To delete, go to Guide, click the Settings icon, select Search settings, and under Search filters, click Manage. Choose the Sources or Types tab, find the item to delete, click the options menu, and select Delete. Confirm your understanding by checking the necessary boxes and click Delete.
