I've been doing a tidy up of old and underperforming pages and whilst I can apply 301 redirects in bulk, I can't then unpublish them in bulk. This is a bit of a pain and something I thought would take a few minutes is now going to take me hours 😞
We now support bulk publishing features (including bulk unpublish) with CMS Hub Enterprise subscriptions. Thank you for this idea submission, marking this one as Delivered.
I agree! I'm in the same boat. I would like to unpublish archived landing pages in bulk. We don't use the pages anymore but they keep showing up in organic searches.
When a page is archived, customers are given the option to just "archive" or "archive and unpublish". With multiple users in the same portal, such action can be inconsistent.
As such, when they want to now unpublish an archived page to remove them from SEO, they would have to go through it one by one due to the lack of filtering options within the archived pages. This is time consuming! Please allow bulk unpublishing feature, especially for archived pages.
Agreed. I have all of the URLs I want to archive prepared in a Google Sheet, but can't seem to find a way to archive them in bulk. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It's not a full solution, but a workaround for bulk unpublishing (or similar actions that can't currently be done in bulk) is to use a tool like Keyboard Maestro.
I needed to unpublish 250 blog posts, and I managed to set up a macro to do all the manual clicking for me in a fraction of the time (and with a lot less hand cramp...). Requires a bit of a watchful eye to make sure it stays on track, but it gets the job done.
Basic enterprise-level functionality for content management that is causing a lot of customers unecessary wasted time. Another point to note is that simply bulk redirecting these pages without unpublishing them still preserves them in the XML sitemap, which is not sufficient as a workaround.
I agree, something like the ability to upload a .csv file with the fileds for the URL and then the status setting like Archive and Unpublish. They have that working for the redirects, it doesn't seem like that would be so hard to impliment.

Whilst it's great this has been implemented on Enterprise, it still doesn't work if the page is part of a multi-language group.
Multi-language groups are especially common on Enterprise sites, and without a bulk publish/unpublish feature, this adds a lot of manual work to the process of launching or shutting down content for a specific region or language. So I would politely argue that this feature is still not fully delivered!
There's also an idea thread here requesting that this feature is expanded to other HubSpot licence levels.
