More than One Site Affiliation
Can a website only have one affiliation… above the Site Title? Or is there way to add more than one?
There can only be one link. You could display the text with a link to a page on the site that describes the ‘partnership’ and the wonderful benefits of being aligned with two colleges.

Sitemaps for CMS Sites
Do the CMS sites ahve a built-in sitemap function?
Depends on the output structure you are looking for. This can be accomplished using views, but we do have a plan on installing a sitemap module. However, we need to upgrade to Drupal 11 first.

Remove old content from Google Search Results

I have an old document no longer in use. Our current site is good, but a search gave me the wrong document. How can I get this removed?
Search results come from Google and we do not have control over editing them. So you will need to wait for Google to remove it themselves, or you might be able to request them to update it.Remove the file or page, and make sure that there are no links pointing to that content. You can use Use the Metatag settings on /admin/config/search/metatag/ to do the Verification step from https://search.google.com/search-console/about

I know this has been answered somewhere, but I need help with certain pages requiring a UNL login. Could someone point me in the right direction?
