A recent change in [Descript](https://cotovan.com/descript) made it a little more difficult to unpublish a composition that you've published as a "Web Page" from the "Publish" menu.

If you were confused where to find this option, read on:

In the Classic version (and until recently, Storyboard version), you were able to click "Unpublish" right from the composition menu if you went to it again.

As of May 2023 this doesn't seem to be possible from the same place.

## How to remove a published Descript page

Instead, after publishing, you have to go to the published page by clicking the link:a

When you get to the page, click the Settings gear icon at the top-right. You should have the "Unpublish" command there:

When you click that, the page disappears and you're redirected to your main drive page.
