Some pages don’t need to be on your site forever. A Christmas services page, a holiday club sign-up or a term-time notice can all be set to appear and disappear on dates you choose, so you can set them up in advance and forget about them.
Scheduling an article
-
Log in to your web office, select the group that holds the article, open the Documents tab and click the article’s title.
-
Open the Properties tab.
-
Set the publish date to the day you want the article to appear on your site.
-
Set a removal date if you want it to come off the site automatically. Choose from the preset options or pick a specific date. Leave it unset and the article stays up indefinitely.
-
Make sure the ‘Publishing Status’ is set to ‘Published’, then click ‘Save’. The dates take care of the rest.
Good to know
-
An article past its removal date isn’t deleted. Edit the dates and it comes straight back, so seasonal pages can be reused year after year.
-
The schedule only runs on published articles; a draft stays hidden whatever its dates say.
-
If a page has vanished from your site unexpectedly, an expired removal date is one of the most common causes and worth checking first.
