# clearContent The `clearContent` command deletes the current document. Keep in mind that the editor will enforce the configured schema, and the document won’t be `null`. The default [`Document`](/api/nodes/document) expects to have at least one block node, which is the paragraph by default. In other words: Even after running that command the document will have at least one (empty) paragraph. See also: [setContent](/api/commands/set-content), [insertContent](/api/commands/insert-content) ## Parameters `emitUpdate: boolean (false)` By default, it doesn’t trigger the update event. Passing `true` doesn’t prevent triggering the update event. ## Usage ```js // Remove all content from the document editor.commands.clearContent() // Remove all content, and trigger the `update` event editor.commands.clearContent(true) ```
