Backdating publish dates of topics and articles

Hmmm...I’d checked that already. I don’t see the option. Is this something y’all need to enable, or am I missing something? This is what I see, logged in as an admin, looking at an article.

My apologies, @nicksimard! The functionality was not enabled on your instance, it should be available now. 

Ohhhhhh…can’t wait to check that out. Thanks for enabling that :) 

Any progress updates on this? It seems like it shouldn’t (famous last words) be a huge lift to modify publish dates. I’d even take this being available via the API if not from the frontend. 

New use case: We’ve got articles that started out as quite long, with 5 separate tips. We want to break them out into different articles, then have a round-up article that ties them all together. Would be great to create these articles and date them such that the existing article can be changed to that round-up.

The best solution now would be to delete the original entirely and start over, which isn’t great. Or have 5 new articles that have a “round-up” from last year haha.

Hi @nicksimard, thanks for sharing this use case! Being able to update the publish date and/or being able to split a topic are great ideas that enable communities to keep great content fresh and relevant. 

We don’t have short term plans for improvements in this area, as we currently focusing on improving the moderation overviews, but additional moderation tools and capabilities for individual topics will definitely follow. 

Just upvoted this idea. We have just launched our Community on InSided and want to be able to publish Product Updates from the last few months to populate this module. Our Product and Product Marketing teams will own this space of our Community and were surprised to find out that this functionality wasn’t in place. Thanks for the consideration!
