To remove a website connection for a website managed by CPS:
1. Close any open drafts for the website you are removing.
Contribute does not remove a connection to a website in which you’re editing pages.
2. Select Edit > My Connections (Windows) or Contribute > My Connections (Macintosh).
The My Connections dialog box appears.
3. Select a website from the list of connections.
4. Click Administer
The Administer Website dialog box appears.
5. Select Administration from the category list on the left.
6. Click Remove Administration button.
A confirmation dialog box appears.

Contribute removes the connection information and administrative settings file (including
user roles and website permissions) associated with this website. Users who were connected to
this website will not be able to connect.
Tip: If users need to connect to this website, you need to create a new connection and recreate
roles and reset permissions. Then, send connection keys with new connection information to
users.
8. Click Close to close the Administer Website dialog box.
In the My Connections dialog box, the website connection no longer appears in your list of
connections.
Note: Contribute also removes the website connection should from the Websites list in the CPS
Console. The next time you log in to the console, the website will not be in your list. If the website
still appears in the list, click the Delete button in the console to remove the website.

Disabling website connections
When Contribute starts, it verifies all the connections defined in the My Connections dialog box
and opens a connection to each of the defined websites. If one or more of the websites are
unavailable for any reason, Contribute can’t open connections to those websites. To avoid such
problems, you can disable a connection when a website is unavailable.
Note: If Contribute cannot connect to a website, Contribute may automatically disable the connection
to that website.
