Expiration

Setting expiration dates on files is a good method when file usage should be limited due to copyright or Digital Rights Management (DRM) reasons.

Set Expiration date on a file

Select a file to view its information in the Infobar .

Clicking the Expiration field will open a calendar. You can select an expiration date for the file on the calendar itself, or type the date into the field.

Find expired files

Once the expiration date passes, the file’s status will change to Expired, and a small red clock icon will be visible just before the file name. You can hover the clock to see the expiration date.

Tip: You can use the search function for "Find expired assets only".
