Close past exhibitions
When a show in your physical space closes, you can clean up your guide to remove references to the physical location of the objects. Closing an Exhibition is the best option for content that is no longer on view in your physical space, but that you would like to present as a digital-only experience, such as in a “Past Exhibitions” section.
Impact of closing an exhibition
In Bloomberg Connects, closing an Exhibition:
- Removes the lookup numbers for the Exhibition and all child Items. The lookup numbers will be free to use for other content.
- Removes the map location for the Exhibition and all child Items. The map pins themselves are not deleted, so you can add new content to an old pin as appropriate. Pins without content are available in the CMS but don't appear in the app.
Closing an Exhibition does not:
- Change any Items added to the Related section of the Exhibition or any Items that are used in multiple Exhibitions (in case the other Exhibition is still on view).
- Remove the Exhibition from its location on the Home screen (since you may want to keep the content but manually move it to a "Past Exhibitions" section). If you want to completely remove an Exhibition from your guide, you can hide it.
