Content Expiration | Axero Documentation

Ensure that content in your intranet is always current and accurate by using content expiration. Select the date and time to expire content, and whether the content should be visible or hidden after expiration. You'll be notified when the content expires, and can then update or delete the content. Content expiration keeps the knowledge base in your intranet relevant and accurate.

Enable Content Expiration

To enable content expiration in a space:

1. Click Manage Space > Space Settings.
   
   
2. Check Enable content expiration.
   
   
3. Click Update Settings.

To enable content expiration in the top level community:

1. Click the gear icon > Control Panel > System > Application Settings.
   
   
2. Expand the Features section.
   
   
3. Set Content Expiration to On.
4. Click Submit.

How to Set an Expiration Date on Content

1. Click Create in the header to create new content. Or edit content that was already published. (See the list of supported content types.)
2. In the right column, click in the Expiration date field.
   
   
3. Select the date and time.
4. Check or uncheck Show content after expiration:
   • If checked, people will still be able to view the content after it expires.
   • If unchecked, the content will be hidden after it expires.

What Happens When Content Expires

When content expires, the content author and space Moderators receive a notification. (If the content is top level content, site Moderators receive a notification.)

Expired content that is still visible displays a message at the top saying the content has expired.

Expired content that is hidden after expiration will not be visible in the space or appear in search. Hidden expired content can be accessed in Manage Space .

NOTE: Only users that are Site Admin, Space Admin, Space Moderator, or Content Author can see expired content.

In Manage Space: Expired Content , you can see a list of expired content and upcoming expiring content. The lists can be exported as CSV files.

You can set an expiration date for the following content types.

• Articles 
• Blogs 
• Files (Set expiration date in Edit File Properties )
