## Problems if you delete and re-create the Collections configuration page

In September, 2013 Instructure introduced changes to [how page titles and URLs operate](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Releases/Canvas-Release-Notes-2023-09-16/ta-p/577167#toc-hId-1051913398). It always remembers pages, even after they are deleted. This can cause the Collections [previously deleted configuration page problem](../reference/problems/previously-deleted-configuration-page.md) (for which there is a solution).

!!! warning "Raises issues with 'sandbox' course sites"

This problem makes sandbox course sites - where you test new course sites by deleting all content and then copying in new content - potentially problematic.

A kludge solution would be to avoid deleting the Canvas Collections configuration page.
