# Unpublish Content Type

> Unpublish a content type without creating a new version

Changes a published content type's status to unpublished without creating a new version. This makes the content type unavailable for new content creation while preserving the version history.

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="organizationId" type="string" required>
  Organization ID
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="projectId" type="string" required>
  Project ID
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  Content Type ID
</ParamField>

## Response

Returns the unpublished ContentType object.

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "ct123",
  "name": "Article",
  "status": "unpublished",
  "version": 3,
  "lastPublishedVersion": 3,
  "layoutComponentId": "c123",
  "componentIdsAllowList": ["c124", "c125"],
  "packageVersion": "1.0.0",
  "schema": { ... },
  "templateContentIds": ["cont123"],
  "permissions": { ... },
  "metadata": { ... },
  "createdAt": "2024-03-20T10:00:00Z",
  "updatedAt": "2024-03-22T10:00:00Z"
}
```

<Note>
  Unpublishing does not increment the version number. The `lastPublishedVersion` remains unchanged, allowing you to re-publish at the same version or make modifications first.
</Note>

## Error Responses

### Not Published

```json theme={null}
{
  "error": {
    "code": "INVALID_STATUS",
    "message": "Cannot unpublish: content type is not currently published"
