Unpublish content that's out of date but might come back, such as a seasonal course. Delete it when you'll never need it again. Both work the same way for courses, nuggets, sessions and pathways.

Good to know
Unpublishing cancels any deadline reminders that were due to go out.
If a Guru uses the content to answer questions, the Guru's creator is told when you unpublish or delete it.
To unpublish or delete several items at once, see Update many content items at once.
If Delete is missing, see Delete isn't available for content I collaborate on.
