Configure expiry settings for individual web pages
The Administrators of a website can
use the Manage Page Expiry dialog box to do the following:
Delete the expired page from the website
Change the expiry settings for individual web pages on the
website
Expire individual pages ahead of their time
Notify authors whose web pages are nearing the expiry date
Sort the web pages by their expiry date. Administrators can
view all the web pages on the site; authors can view only those
pages assigned to them.
It is possible to perform the same action on multiple files by
selecting them in the list.

To inform the author that the web page is nearing its expiry
date, select a page from the list, and click Notify. A compose mail
dialog box of your favorite email editor appears containing information
about the expired page. Edit and send the mail to the author. For
multiple authors, compose a separate email for each author containing
information on files authored by them.

Page Expiry dialog box, configure the expiry settings. For more
