Resetting the Palette to the default settings

You can return the Portlet Palette to the default settings currently maintained by your administrator. Resetting the Portlet Palette to use the current administrator settings removes any customizations you have made.

• You should be logged in to the portal site using an ID with sufficient access rights to modify a page. Access control for customizing and working with the Portlet Palette is based on portlet roles, portlet modes, and page permissions. The portlets available to you are also filtered by any restricted portlet lists that exist for a page.
• The drag-and-drop feature is present for default portal themes in rows and containers that are not locked.
• Entries in the Portlet Palette could become obsolete. For example, when an administrator deletes a portlet from the portal while a user is creating or editing pages, the user may not be aware of these updates. A user must log out and log back in to the portal to view the changes made by the administrator. If a user attempts to drag a portlet from the Portlet Palette when the portlet no longer exists, a message is recorded to the portal logs. Although this is a rare situation, administrators should not remove and add portlets during normal business hours.

Perform the following steps:

1. Click to open the Portlet Palette.
2. Click on the drop-down menu located by the Portlets title bar.
3. Click Reset to Defaults.
4. Click OK to confirm that you want to reset the portlet collection to the default values.
5. Click to close the Portlet Palette.
