Delete and Unpublish about helix-sidekick HOT 6 CLOSED

I would say we also need the capability to unpublish a page which has been accidentally published and should not be available yet.

@kptdobe right, so maybe we need 2 distinct plugins:

• Preview: Delete deletes the resource from both preview and live buckets, then redirects to the homepage
• Live: Unpublish deletes the resource from the live bucket only, then redirects to the preview page

wdyt?

Technically yes, but not sure how the end-user would understand that.
As a user, you do not really care about the file still being stored in the preview bucket.
Thinking about use cases, I only see 2:

1. end-user sees an article on the production website that has nothing todo here yet, you want to un-publish it.
2. end-user deletes the source file and probably expects the page to disappear from the site.

Yes. The sidekick should offer an Unpublish action if it detects that the page is published (i.e. in the live bucket)

2. end-user deletes the source file and probably expects the page to disappear from the site.

Yes in theory, however in reality, we can't hook into the "backend UI" (SP, gDrive) to warn the user of the consequences of deleting/moving a source document. Such could also be an accident, and the end-user may later notice their mistake and restore the document from the trash. So we shouldn't auto-delete anything in the preview and live buckets based on such an event, but instead give the end-user the ability to clean up manually.

Evolved from #76 (comment):

• All environments:
  • Hide Edit if there is no source document
  • Hide Publish if there is no source document
• Preview:
  • Hide Reload if there is no source document
  • Show Delete if there is no source document: deletes the resource from both preview and live buckets, then redirects to the homepage
  • Show Unpublish if the page is published: deletes the resource from the live bucket, no redirect
• Live/Production:
  • Show Unpublish if the page is published (implicit on Live): deletes the resource from the live bucket, then redirects to the preview page

from helix-sidekick.

Note: Unpublish will currently only work after the source document has been deleted (or moved).
