Expiring a webpages and files in the CMS

If desired, you can schedule a page to expire at a specific date and time. Keep in mind pages can also be recycled on the staging server or deleted from a production server. This will not delete your web page on the staging server as you may want to update and republish the page at a later time.

  1. Log in to the CMS by navigating to a page on your website and clicking the Direct Edit link.
  2. Click Content then Pages.

    2. Recycle: Selecting this option will schedule the file to be removed from the staging and production servers and will place the file in the Recycle Bin. It can be restored if needed. Fill in the desired date and time for the scheduled expiration.
