Scheduling Content to Begin and End |
Setting Archive Options
After setting an End Date, you can specify a content block's archive options, which determine what happens upon reaching its end date/time.
To be eligible for any option, the content must reach its end date/time, progress through its approval chain, and be published. Until those events occur, the content block remains visible both within its content folder and on the site.
The archive options (illustrated below) appear below the Start Date and End Date fields on the content block's Schedule screen.
Each option is explained below.
