New Feature — Audit Report for Unused Text Pages

At Clean Catalog, we are committed to gathering feedback from our clients and continuously improving our software to meet the unique needs of higher education institutions. For this reason, we're thrilled to introduce a new enhancement to our catalog audit tool: the capability to identify unused text pages in your catalog performance report. This update, inspired by user feedback, makes catalog management easier by keeping your content organized, relevant, and streamlined.

Why Unused Text Pages Matter

As any catalog administrator knows, managing a course catalog is about more than just adding new content—it’s about maintaining existing content and keeping your catalog up-to-date, ultimately creating a clear and consistent experience for your users. However, over time, unused or unlinked text pages can accumulate, often as the result of past updates or restructuring. Unlinked pages are pages that don’t appear on your Table of Contents (TOC) or in generated PDFs, but remain accessible through search engines like Google or Bing. Essentially, these pages are hanging in catalog limbo.

Our new report feature identifies these pages for you, giving you the ability to decide their fate: Should they be reintegrated into your catalog, archived for future reference, or deleted altogether? This proactive approach not only improves the user experience but also helps maintain a polished, professional catalog.

A Valuable Tool for Accreditation Reviews and Beyond

For institutions preparing for accreditation reviews, maintaining an accurate and streamlined catalog is critical. Accreditation bodies frequently review catalogs to ensure they reflect current policies, programs, and procedures. Unused text pages can create confusion, undermining the clarity and professionalism of your catalog. Our audit tool now makes it easy to address this issue. By flagging unused pages, our software empowers administrators to take action, whether that be archiving outdated information, linking important pages back into the catalog, or removing irrelevant content. This will give your staff peace of mind of knowing exactly what content is living in your catalog before sharing it for accreditation review.

Built-In Audits & Reports

Like all of Clean Catalog’s features, the unused text page report is designed to make your staff’s job easier. This new tool is seamlessly integrated into our catalog audit report, which comes standard with every Clean Catalog site. With no extra cost or setup required, you can start using this feature today to identify broken links, accessibility issues, missing content, and unused pages.
