Requirements

Content should become available online only within a specific time frame. For example, editors need to ensure that a press release only becomes public at a certain day and time or an article should expire after a specific day. In addition, editors want to preview their preproduced content in the context of the website as if it was already available.

Solution

CoreMedia Blueprint supports restricting the visibility of content items by setting the optional validFrom and validTo date properties of content of type CMLinkable.

In order to preview the experience at certain points in time, you can use the time travel feature within CoreMedia Studio:
