How to delete a page/template?

Test pages and outdated templates tend to pile up over time. This guide shows you how to delete a page or template you created with EComposer, either from the EComposer dashboard or straight from the editor. Take a moment to check which item you’re removing before you confirm.

1. Remove a Standard/Landing page

You can delete a standard or landing page in two ways: from the EComposer dashboard, or from the Page Navigator inside the editor. Use whichever is closer to where you’re working right now.

Option 1: Remove the page from the EComposer dashboard

Step 1: From your Shopify admin, open the EComposer app and go to Build. Then scroll down to the Pages & Templates tab, where every page and template you’ve created is listed.

Step 2: Open the drop-down filter above the list and choose Landing & Pages so only your pages show up. Got a long list? Type the page name into the Search by title box to find it faster.

Step 3: Hover over the page you want to delete and click the three-dot (…) icon at the end of its row. Then choose Remove, and the page is taken out of your list.

Option 2: Remove the page from the Page Navigator

Already working in the editor? You can delete a page without going back to the dashboard.

Step 1: Click the page name at the top of the editor (for example, Home pages > Multi-product Homepage) to open the Page Navigator. Then choose Pages from the list of page types. If you only see one type of page, click the back arrow first.

Step 2: Hover over the page you want to remove and click the Delete (trash) icon that appears next to its name. Confirm the action when you’re asked, and the page will be deleted.

2. Remove a Template such as Homepage, Product, Collection, Blog, etc.

The steps are the same for every template type, including Homepage, Product, Collection, Blog and more. In the examples below, we’ll remove a product template.

Option 1: Remove the template from the EComposer dashboard

Step 1: In the EComposer app, go to Build and scroll to the Pages & Templates tab. Open the drop-down filter and choose the type of template you want to remove, such as Home, Product or Blogs.

Step 2: Find the template, hover over its row and click the three-dot (…) icon. Then choose Remove to delete it.

Option 2: Remove the template from the Page Navigator

Open the Page Navigator by clicking the page name at the top of the editor, then choose the template type you want to manage, such as Products. Hover over the template you want to remove, click the Delete (trash) icon next to its name and confirm the action.

Default templates can’t be removed. A default template is the one currently assigned to all products, all collections, or used in place of the Shopify default homepage. You’ll see a Default tag next to its name, and the Remove option is greyed out.

To remove a default template, restore the Shopify default template first. Go to Pages & Templates, pick the template type from the filter (for example, Blogs), then hover over the Shopify row (such as Shopify Blogs) and click the Restore to original theme template icon. Once the Shopify template is back in charge, you can remove your EComposer template with the steps above.

3. Restore EComposer pages

Deleted a page by mistake? If you delete a page created with EComposer and later change your mind, you may still be able to restore it from Trash. Follow this guide: How to restore deleted pages from Trash.
