Removing tiles from the mobile app

Remove a tile from the mobile app when a page has been deleted from the toolkit

Scenario: the tile of a deleted page still appears if you published a page to the mobile app then deleted the page before removing it from the mobile app.

Example – ‘About this toolkit page’ on the computer the page looks like this:

On the mobile app there is an additional ‘About this toolkit’ page, see below:

Step 1. The old ‘About this toolkit’ needs to be reinstated from the 'Recycle bin'. Contact HIS RDS team to do this for you. Email: his.decisionsupport@nhs.scot.

Below is a screenshot of the old ‘About this toolkit’ having been reinstated.

Step 2. Republish this page by clicking on Save and publish in the bottom right corner of the screen.

The next steps are applicable for this scenario, or if you published a page to the mobile app but no longer want to use that page, and you haven't deleted the page.
