Viewing Unused Meta Tags

You can view a list of all meta tags that have been created in your project but have not yet been used in any files. By "unused," we mean that the meta tag was created but no values were set for it in any file.

You can quickly delete any of the meta tags that you do not plan to use.

How to View Unused Meta Tags

  1. Select Analysis > More Reports > Unused Items.

    The Unused Items window pane opens, which lets you view various unused elements in the project (such as bookmarks, condition tags, content files, CSH IDs, images, variables, styles, file tags, meta tags, and topics not linked).

  2. Click the drop-down field at the top of the window pane and select Unused Meta Tags. The unused meta tags in the project are listed.
  3. To see more of the information in the window pane, drag the divider bar to make the pane wider.

  4. If a certain number of items have been found, page navigation buttons in the local toolbar may be enabled. You can use these buttons to go to additional pages to display more items. You can also click View All in the local toolbar to see all results on a single page. Keep in mind that the more items you have in the project, the longer it will take to load this view.
  5. If you want to remove any unused meta tags from the project being analyzed, select the meta tag in the list and click Use delete to empty contents. in the local toolbar.

Note You can also include this information in reports that you create. See Reports.
