Kentico CMS allows you to specify when the document will be published. When you edit a document on its Form tab, you can typically find the Publish from/Publish to fields at the bottom of the form:

 

devguide_clip0753

 

When you set these values, the document will be displayed on the website only in the given time period.

 

If you do not set the Publish from value, the document will be displayed on the live site immediately.

If you do not set the Publish to value, the document will never expire.

 

Content scheduling and workflow/versioning

 

If you set publish from/to values to documents that use workflow, they will not be published before they are approved. However, the publishing time may not be exact since the publishing is ensured by a scheduled process that is executed every minute by default. You can check the status of this process in CMS Desk -> Administration -> Scheduled tasks -> choose the website and search for the Content publishing task.
