Delete a Forum from the Knowledge Center

As a forum moderator, you can delete forums from the Knowledge Center. When you delete a forum all of its topics and replies are deleted. If you want to preserve the topics and replies in a forum, but do not want other users to see them, you can update its permissions to restrict access.

To access forums from the Knowledge Center, your system role must have at least read-only access to the Knowledge Center feature in System Roles (Learner-oriented Features > Learn Features), and unrestricted access to the Forum feature (Learner-oriented Features > Communicate Features).

To delete forums, your system role must have the Allow Forum Moderation permission in System Roles (Data Access Control > Role General Permissions). You must also have unrestricted access permission for the forum you want to delete.

To delete a forum

1. Go to Home > Teach and select a Teach page tab. The Teach page opens at the selected tab.
2. Filter the sessions list, if required.
3. Select Launch Knowledge Center from a session's action menu. The Knowledge Center opens.
4. Click Forum. The forum category assigned to the course is listed.
5. Click the forum category title. The forum category opens in a new window and lists the forums assigned to it.
6. Select Delete from a forum's action menu. You are asked to confirm the deletion.
