Discontinued Content Types

There is no need to delete pre-existing examples, but do not use these content types to create new content:
Elm Calendar Feed (Import URL)
Use Elm Calendar Feed instead.
Embedded Video Two Column
Use Embedded Video instead

Rows of four columns are no longer supported by the new templates. Consider other layouts, such as two rows of two columns,

Use Article (formerly Blog Entry) instead.
Icon Navigation Item
Please consider alternative content types, such as multiple-column content types or Thumbnail List Item
Some content types from the old UMB templates no longer serve a purpose in the new Central 2025 templates.
