How to remove conditional build tags at project level?

[Crone2011]

The last discussion on this topic is quite dated, so I am asking this question specifically for RH9.

The projects I inherited have many conditional tags that are unused and not needed. Since they aren't used, how can I remove the tags at the project level? (Seems like the Conditional Build Tag dialog box should provide the option, but it doesn't.)

Also, how do I submit these feature/wish questions to Adobe?

Thanks for any help.

Not sure about just deleting CBTs in the CBT pod for a project - I think that you can just delete them if they aren't used anywhere.

If you delete a tag from the CBT pod, you will get this message. I think it answers your question. I just tried it in a simple three topic project and it removed the tag from both content and topics. Nonetheless, I would take a copy of a live project before doing it for real.

RH9 has the option to delete conditional tags from the CBT pod (image below). When you click Delete, it gives you the message Peter mentions. We've used this feature and it hasn't broken any of our projects yet (and we have some pretty big help projects).

However, as suggested, you must make a copy of your project before you delete all tags, just in case. Also, if your project is in source control, I suggest checking in your project files, and then again checking out your *entire* project folder before making a project-wide change such as this. If things go wrong, you can always just discard the check-out.
