Note
Note If a community license is removed from your org, members can still access sites associated with that license. To ensure security, deactivate sites that you wish to discontinue.

To ensure your contributors can access Experience Builder and Workspaces in an inactive community, enable the “Modify All Data” permission.

  1. From Setup, enter Digital Experiences in the Quick Find box, then select All Sites.
  2. Click Workspaces next to the site you want to deactivate.
  3. Click Administration | Settings.
  4. Click Deactivate.
    After your site is inactive and offline, only users who have the Create and Set Up Experiences permission can access it. All other users see a Site Under Construction page.
