Expire content

Normally, web content never expires, but you can set pages and blocks to expire at a certain time in the future or immediately.

• Content becomes invisible on the front end of the site immediately or at a specified future time.
• You can remove the expiration from the content to make it appear on the website again.
• Use for content that should be permanently taken offline after a certain date.
• Editors can still access expired content when logged in.

Note

The expiration sets a stop publish date on the content and this date applies to all versions of the content. For example, if you set a page to expired and then create a draft from the latest published version and publishes that draft, it will still be expired and not displayed on the website. You must manually remove the expiration for the page to be public.

To expire content, select Publish > Manage Expiration.

The Manage Expriation window displays.

• Select Now if you want the expiration to apply immediately.
• Select a date if you want to expire content at a specific date and time, perhaps for time-limited content.
• Click Remove Expiration to restore the content to the site.
• The Manage Expiration window displays other content items that link to the page you want to expire. Click View to open the page and address the link reference, otherwise the link will break when you expire the page.
