Items can have two statuses: 'Public' or 'Private'

This status is displayed to administrators logged in to the site at the right hand end of the green editing toolbar.

To publish an item

Where you see the status shown on the green editing toolbar - in red if it is private (or blue if public) - you can click on it, and you are then offered the option to publish it.

If you want to change several items within the same folder at the same time, it may be more convenient to go through this process using the bulk change capability.

To unpublish an item

If an item is public, it's status can be changed to private using the same approaches as above and selecting the 'unpublish' or 'make private' options.

Publication and expiry dates

You can also select a range of dates when an item becomes visible to users.

To do this select the 'Properties' tab on the green editing toolbar, and put the dates you want against the publication date and expiry date fields.
