Schedule to unpublish

I hope I’m in the right place here as an Umbraco CMS admin user and not a dev! I need to schedule a time sensitive banner to unpublish at a certain time and would like my content page to revert to it’s previous state. It seems right now that my only scheduling option for unpublishing is to unpublish the entire page, which I don’t want to do. Am I able to select a former “version” of the page to return to?

What you want to do is not scheduling an unpublish, rather you want to schedule another publish with a version of the page that does not have the banner.

Ah I see. So rather than reverting to a former “version” I would need to create another version without the banner and schedule that to go live after the other has been scheduled to unpublish?

Umbraco basically saves a full version of the document every single time you click publish, so it is possible to find an older version and scheduling that for publishing.

The unpublish is for the entire page so it is removed and no longer visible on the frontend.

You can have multiple scheduled publishes, so it is possible to schedule a publish that adds a banner and then schedule a later publish that removes that same banner.

Thanks so much for all of the advice, it’s been super helpful. Have a great day :slight_smile:

Following on from this I cannot work out how to set up multiple scheduled publishes on the same content page? Can anyone help?

When revisiting this I am sorry to say I have given the wrong advice.

When fetching it programatically you get a ContentScheduleCollection which contains a list of schedules: Umbraco-CMS/src/Umbraco.Core/Models/ContentScheduleCollection.cs at c60cf90ffe5c2dd005b75a7302e56b750e3e39b0 · umbraco/Umbraco-CMS

Which made me assume you can do multiple, but I think that is because you can do separate schedules for publishing/unpublishing and pr culture.

Doesn’t look like it is possible to schedule multiple published versions - sorry!

It looks like the addon package Umbraco Workflow supports this though:

No worries :slight_smile: The add on with Workflow is exactly what I’m after so that’s been super useful. Many thanks
