Set a release and expiry date for Pages

Sometimes, the content you upload to Showpad may be highly regulated or linked to special events like promotions, sales competitions, or individual campaigns. In such cases, you can set a release and expiry date to Pages to ensure they are available in the correct time frame.

The release date is the day a Page becomes available to users, and the expiry date is the day a Page becomes unavailable to users. You can also choose to set only a release date without an expiry date and vice versa.
For sellers, expired content is removed from Experiences. In Collections and Shared Spaces, the Page will be greyed out and inaccessible. Content with a future release date won't be visible yet for your users.
