If you want to launch a time-limited campaign or present content that's relevant only for some time, it's useful to schedule automatic content expiration. You can schedule content items to get unpublished and archived at the right time the same way you can schedule them for publishing. This helps you to keep your content up-to-date.

You can only schedule items for unpublishing if they have a published version.

    Schedule a content item for unpublishing

    1. In  Content & assets, open a published content item you want to schedule for unpublishing.
    2. In Content details, click Unpublish and archive.
    3. Select Schedule unpublish.
    4. Select a date, time, and time zone.
      • The pre-selected time zone matches the time zone on your device. You can select another time zone based on the region you're unpublishing the content for.
    5. Click Done.
    6. Click Save changes.

    Update the unpublish date

    To reschedule the item for unpublishing, click Change unpublishing options in the right sidebar, and pick a different date.

    After the content item is unpublished and archived on the set date, it'll become read-only and won't be accessible via the Delivery API.

    You can't remove scheduled unpublish date in bulk

    Select the content items for unpublishing carefully. You can't discard the unpublishing schedule for multiple items at once. You can only remove the schedule separately for each item.
