Deprecated widget report

Following the platform update on 1 March, Site Owners and Administrators can now view a report of pages that contain deprecated widgets. The removal schedule for these widgets is available in the New Widgets! article.

Also, markers to denote deprecated widgets have been added to the editing interface, so that it is obvious when a page contains a deprecated widget.

The report is accessed by going to Site Settings > Site Details and then clicking the button 'Check for deprecated widgets in use on your website'.

The report shows a table of links to all the pages on your site that contain deprecated widgets. The text of the links are system numbers, which refer to individual pages on your site. You can ignore these numbers and use the links to click through to the pages. Pages that are published are shown with a green background, those which are unpublished have a red background.

Deprecated widget markers when editing pages

When editing a page there are three areas in the editing interface where markers to denote deprecated widgets will appear. You can still save and use pages that contain deprecated widgets, but you should aim to replace them with the new replacement widgets before the widgets are turned off. See the article about new widgets for the deprecated widget removal schedule.
