Remove an existing recommended page path

Once you start using the contextual help widget to recommend articles, you'll likely need to update or delete page paths as your website or application changes. In this article, we cover the steps to remove an existing page path. Refer to Update an existing recommended page for the steps to edit a page path.

The information below varies based on whether you're using our 2026 new editor or old editor.

To figure out which instructions to follow:

  1. Open any article for editing.
  2. If the lefthand navigation is collapsed and there's a link near the top of the page to Switch to old editor, follow the New editor documentation.
  3. If the lefthand navigation is expanded and the top of the editor and the righthand column have a heavier grey background, follow the Old editor documentation.

Here are side-by-side examples of the new editor and the old editor:
