I have a client that would like to post several articles at one time but basically go public or "live" at different selected dates automatically...I have managed to set an expiry date that works well but is it possible to throw a batch of articles up at one time and have them start automatically by a start date in the future?

Hi,

If you set the publish-date of an article (in 'advanced settings' dropdown) to some future date, the article starts showing up on the frontend only after that date.

This is the default behavior. Is it that you need something else?
Please let me know.

Thanks.

Perfect and thank you KK. That is all that is needed.

Sorry to chime in here, but would it be possible to set an "unpublish" date as well? I was thinking of implementing something like temporary Upload-sites via Capability URLs. Basically just a cloned template with a generated URL, which will get unpublished after two weeks or so.
