Launch Move Error

Follow these instructions if you get the error below when moving a page.

This error may occur when moving a page:

Error Message:
The page is the source root of a launch and the launch will become orphan after this action. The move operation is denied.

If it does, then action as follows:

  1. Create a new page in the correct folder with the correct filename in language-masters.
    (Do not try to copy the current page and change the hosting folder and filename to save time because copying the page also copies the error unfortunately.)
  2. Copy all of the Page Properties content and components into the new page.
  3. Unpublish and delete the Live Copy.
  4. Rollout new language-masters page to Live Copy.
  5. Publish the new Live Copy.
  6. Create a redirect from previous page URL to new page URL.
