Change language publish status
2 min
From Service API 5.3.0, the individual status of a language version can be controlled via the model property PublishStatuses, which is a list of PublishStatus.
Example of PublishStatuses, which sets the individual publish statuses for “en” and “sv” versions.
PublishStatuses = new List<PublishStatus>()
{
new PublishStatus()
{
IsPublished = true,
Language = "en",
StartPublish = now.AddDays(-1),
StopPublish = now.AddYears(1)
},
new PublishStatus()
{
IsPublished = false,
Language = "sv",
StartPublish = now.AddDays(-1),
StopPublish = now.AddYears(1)
}
}The PublishStatuses property can be used for nodes and entries.

Code = "Code 3",

EndDate = now.AddYears(1),
EntryType = "Variation",
InventoryStatus = "Enabled",

}You can use PublishStatuses in both POST (create) and PUT (update) operations. It will be returned in GET operations.
For POST and PUT, if PublishStatuses is null, it is skipped. You also can update the statuses of some, but not all, languages.
- Note If IsActive is set to false, it overrides the IsPublished status of all languages.
- You cannot “unpublish” the master language version. There must be always a published, master language version.
- You cannot "unpublish" a published version. If you have a draft version in a non-master language, set IsPublished to false for that language to keep in draft. If it is published, setting IsPublished to false has no effect. Use StartPublish and StopPublish to expire the content instead.
- While you can send a list with duplicated languages, only the first matching publish status for a language is used.
- StartPublish and StopPublish of a master language override StartDate and EndDate.
