Setting Archive Options
Use content’s archive options to 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 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’s Schedule screen.
