Use the future publish and rollback content functionality in the CMS to publish content for a limited time, for example a promotional banner. You can set future dates and times to publish pages and/or automatically rollback changes.

You need a role of ISC\_ContentAdmin, ISC\_Admin, ISC\_Implementer or ISC\_System to access this functionality.

## Publish in the future and/or rollback changes automatically

3. Click the **Show CMS** icon in the upper left corner.
4. Click the **Toggle Content Tree** icon to open the Content Tree.
5. Click the **Edit** icon and create new pages or make your content changes.

## Edit future publish and/or rollback dates

You can edit selected future publish and/or rollback dates any time before these occur. CMS pages or variants with either future publish dates or rollback dates display with a clock icon and blue font in the tree.

Published pages or variants with a rollback date display a message in the header, next to the page title, **Scheduled to Rollback on (date/time)**. There is also and **Edit rollback date** link that opens the Edit Rollback Date window.
