What is an Asset Archive?
• When an asset with metadata (page, file, folder, block or Symlink) passes its expiration date as specified in its metadata, it will be archived. The archival process involves three steps: • The asset will be moved in the CMS to the Expiration Folder (as defined in the asset’s metadata). • The asset will no longer be indexed by index blocks. • Publishing of publishable assets (page, file or folder) that occurs after the designated expiration date will no longer include the asset. It is important to note that the asset will not be unpublished from the remote server. If no Expiration Folder is specified, the asset will not be moved when the expiration date is passed but it will stop being indexed by all index blocks and will no longer be included in the publishing after the expiration date (see #2 and #3 above) .
