Signup: Give users a way to remove all dummy content. #52588

Headstart populates a new site with dummy content, to help the user visualize the theme's possibilities. If, however, a user just wants to start from scratch, they have to manually remove all of that content themselves.

Headstart already has functionality that would allow various UIs for this (there's already a "make your site look like the theme" section live on wpcalypso.wordpress.com that uses Headstart). These were tools planned by the Gravity team that were never able to be realized after team re-allocation.

We can also handle dummy content more in context – eg. only dummy images in the Media Organizer, only dummy posts in the post list, etc.
