    <description>&lt;P&gt;Your answer is correct, but One question,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We can activate child pages, without activating the parent page. This is also technically wrong.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How can we avoid this? Is there any way to alert user don not activate child pages until parent page is activated.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Unpublish parent page without unpublishing child pages</title>
      <link>https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/unpublish-parent-page-without-unpublishing-child-pages/m-p/420299#M119645</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;AEM has the &lt;EM&gt;&lt;A href="https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/sites/authoring/fundamentals/publishing-pages.html?lang=en" target="_self"&gt;feature&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;which allows content authors to &lt;EM&gt;include/exclude child pages&lt;/EM&gt; during publish or unpublish. This feature looks to be broken, tested on v6.5.6 (current) and v6.5.9 (latest) versions. Can someone confirm if this is a product bug or if I’m doing something wrong? And also suggest if there are any alternative OOTB options available. Also tried using &lt;EM&gt;Request for Deactivation workflow&lt;/EM&gt;, it unpublishes both the parent and child pages.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello&amp;nbsp;&lt;LI-USER uid="17376527"&gt;&lt;/LI-USER&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I tried this in AEM 6.5.8 and able to publish multi level pages. Created pages at content/we-retail/us/products/man/coat/p1,&amp;nbsp; content/we-retail/us/products/man/coat/p1/p2,&amp;nbsp; content/we-retail/us/products/man/coat/p1/p3,&amp;nbsp; content/we-retail/us/products/man/coat/p1/p2/p4,&amp;nbsp; content/we-retail/us/products/man/coat/p1/p3/p5 and so on.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I published p1 and used Manage Publication and unchecked 'Filter by Depth' and 'Filter by status' I was able to see all child pages replicated successfully to the publisher.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Are you seeing any errors in error logs and/or replication logs? In what terms is this broken for you?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;LI-USER uid="17376527"&gt;&lt;/LI-USER&gt;&amp;nbsp;,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Its not possible to deactivate parent page alone excluding child pages. If you de-activate parent page, child pages also automatically will get deactivated.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I hope you would have got some warnings when you tried to deactivate parent page in author.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;LI-USER uid="17376527"&gt;&lt;/LI-USER&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You cannot deactivate only a parent page and keep the child pages. All the pages are arranged in the pattern and they form the URL structure, i.e., if you have&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;/content/we-retail/abc.html&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;/content/we-retail/abc/123.html&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;/content/we-retail/abc/234.html&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now if you want to unpublish abc then what will happen to the URL for the remaining items?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;/content/we-retail/123.html?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;/content/we-retail/234.html?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Unpublishing a content from AEM will remove all it's reference and it's child reference. So it's not possible to unpublish only Parent and retain the child pages.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also you will get the warning something like below when you try to do so.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="asutosh_jena_0-1629863031945.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/33774iA1C75242F9AC9E45/image-size/medium/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="asutosh_jena_0-1629863031945.png" alt="asutosh_jena_0-1629863031945.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;LI-USER uid="17376527"&gt;&lt;/LI-USER&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;you can not only deactivate parent page without deactivating child pages .&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;If you deactivate parent node , it is writing an empty node in its place. So effectively it deactivates or deletes the sub pages .&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Thanks&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Dipti&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks all for your response. I do not see any error/warning in the logs because AEM is forcing me to click on unpublish with a message that the child pages also get unpublished. I had previously assumed the same that a user cannot unpublish a parent page without unpublishing the child pages also. I believe this &lt;A href="https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/sites/authoring/fundamentals/publishing-pages.html?lang=en" target="_self"&gt;document&lt;/A&gt; should be updated by removing &lt;EM&gt;unpublish&lt;/EM&gt; option or adding a note.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The use case I am trying to solve for my content team is Blogs. They have urls which look like /blog/year/month/page.html. Content team does not want /year and /month folders to return a 200, rather 404 as there's no content on the page. So, /year/month are only for organizing and structure purposes and also because AEM has a node limitation of 5k related to performance etc. Since the /year and /month are already published they plan to only unpublish those individual page(s) and not affect the actual blog pages. This does look like a valid use case.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The options that I see are,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. Unpublish from crx/de - manually, has dev intervention&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. Unpublish year and month pages and use tree activation to activate individual blog pages&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3. Develop a custom process step and workflow which only unpublishes individual parent page and not child pages.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If anyone has comments or suggestion on the approach, let me know. Thanks in advance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
