Apologies for such a vague subject but I wasn’t quite sure how to phrase this particular question. I am doing a redesign of a client website that is currently live, which lead me to use the content staging system. At first I could not find the current Home page in the **Unmodified tab** , but I did find a Home in the **Staged draft tab** , which seems to have been created years ago.

Since I want to start with a blank Home page with a completely different theme my first instinct was to just delete this old staged draft. Not being as familiar with Hubspot gave me pause and I thought it might be better to get some insight from the community on the best way to go about doing this.

Do I have to work with the already existing staged draft of the home page, or can I delete it and then be able to stage a new home page as I dont need any of the old content or theme its currently using. Thanks for any assistance!

Morning @JLee43,

You’ll be fine to delete the draft without affecting the live version. Obvious caveat that it _will_ delete the staged version, but that’s exactly what you intended anyway.
