FAQPage Schema

How do I deactivate a client portal without deleting files or history?▼

Soft-deleting a Showpane client portal safely removes access by setting the isActive flag to false in the application database. This action preserves the database record, source files, and analytics history for future reference.

Can I bulk deactivate multiple Showpane portals at once?▼

Yes, bulk deactivation of multiple Showpane client portals is supported. The process requires explicit per-portal confirmation before executing the destructive action to ensure safe and controlled bulk deactivations.

What do I need to configure before soft-deleting a portal?▼

Before soft-deleting a portal, you need access to the Showpane toolchain with configured SHOWPANE_HOME and SHOWPANE_BIN environment variables, plus an application path containing installed node_modules to execute the deactivation.

What happens to active sessions and share links when a portal is deactivated?▼

When a portal is deactivated, active sessions and share links become inaccessible. The deactivation process reports affected sessions and share links, and logs the completion to the Showpane timeline for operational transparency.

Why does the portal deactivation process require explicit confirmation?▼

Explicit confirmation is required before executing destructive actions like portal deactivation to serve as a safety guard. This prevents accidental removal of client access and ensures administrators intentionally approve single or bulk deactivations.

What is the best way to take a Showpane portal offline temporarily?▼

The best way to take a Showpane portal offline temporarily is to soft-delete it by setting the isActive flag to false. This safely removes client access while remaining fully reversible, allowing for quick reactivation later.
