Some articles must be checked regularly, so that their information stays correct. Set a verification date on these articles. When the date is close, Elium shows the article in the task list of its content owner.

Set a verification date

Open the article and click the three dots at the top.
Click "Mark as up to date".

You can also click the check mark icon at the top of the article.
In the "Keep this article up to date" window, choose a period: "One month", "Three months", "Six months" or "One year". To choose a specific day, click "Custom date".
Click "Confirm".

A green badge now shows at the top of the article and on its card. Point to the badge to see who verified the article and until when.

To remove the date, open the window again and click "Remove verification".

Find the articles to check

Click "Tasks" in the menu on the left. The "Expired" tab lists your articles that must be checked:

A green date means that the article expires in the next 30 days.
A red date means that the article has expired.

The "Expired reads (90 days)" column shows, in red, how many times an article was opened while it was expired during the last 90 days. Start with the articles that have the most reads: people still rely on them. The column stays empty when nobody opened the article while it was expired.

The number next to "Tasks" adds up everything waiting for you there: expired articles, articles to approve, annotations on your articles and articles handed over to you.

Update an expired article

When the date has passed, the badge at the top of the article turns red.

Read the article and update it if necessary.
Set a new verification date, in the same way as the first time.

Set a default verification date for a space

With this option, every new article published in the space gets a verification date automatically.

Open the space and click the three dots next to "Joined".
Click "General Settings".
Enable "Automatically schedule verification for new contents".
Choose "1 month", "3 months", "6 months" or "1 year", then click "Save".

The option applies only to new articles. Articles that already exist keep their current verification date.

See the expired articles of the platform

Click your profile picture in the top right corner, then click "Settings".
In the menu on the left, open "Content management" and click "Expired Content".

The "Expired articles" page lists the expired articles of the platform, in the spaces you have access to. Two cards at the top give the overall picture:

Expired Content: the share of articles past their verification date, out of all the articles you have access to. The bar shows the articles that are up to date (green), expired (red) and without a verification date.
Expired Content Reads: the share of reads, over the last 90 days, on articles that had expired when people opened them. The arrow shows the change compared with the 90 days before.

The table below lists each expired article with its owner, its space, the number of times it was read while expired in the last 90 days, and the date it expired. Click a title to open the article in the "Preview" panel. To add the "Template" and "Last update" columns, click "Columns" at the top right of the table.
