Delete topics

You can delete a topic including all its subtopics and callouts, or you can remove a topic but leave its subtopics and callouts intact. Topics can be deleted and removed in both Map and Outline view.

Note: If you only wish to suppress the display of certain map elements you can use the Show/Hide command and the Filter command to hide elements without removing them from the map.

To delete a topic and all of its subtopics:

1. Select the topic(s).

2. Press Del
   or
   Right-click and select Cut.

3. The topic(s) (including icons, images and shapes), attached subtopics and callouts will be deleted from the map.

To remove a topic, but keep all its subtopics and callouts:

1. Select the topic(s).

2. Do one of the following:

• Press Ctrl+Shift+Del

• Right-click and select Remove Topic

3. The topic (including icons, images and shapes) will be removed, and its subtopics will be promoted up one level. Its attached callouts will be converted to floating topics. (The new floating topic will not display in Outline view, but will show up in Map view.)

 Note: If you removed or deleted the topic(s) in error click the Undo button  to restore them.
