I was wondering whether there was a default option in Umbraco to 'deactivate / activate' a document for a while ...
I have not seen it in the backend UI right-mouse button menu ...
Why you ask ? Well it would be nice to allow editors to temporarly deactivate published content ( imagine content depending on the time of the year ... for example 'spring promotions', etc .. ). Would even be great to put some 'validity dates' behind it ( like from 01/06 to 01/09 ) ...
Sure I can add an attribute to a template and have my XSLT check for this but it would be nicer if one could visually see in the content tree that certain documents are inactive ...
Deactive a Document
Hi folks,

Hi Steven
If you want to unpublish a node you can do this by going into the "Property"-tab on the node. In here there's a button called something "Unpublish".
When you click this, the node will be unpublished from the site.

Hi Kim,
Ah cool ... It is more or less what I was looking for ... you can even put in some dates ...
I somehow missed this feature ...
Thanks,
Steven
Yeah you can time it to be published and unpublished at certain dates - that's pretty neat :)
If you can mark this post as solved it would be great. Of course only if you haven't got any further questions regarding this issue :)
