What the Panel Shows

The panel displays:

  • current status
  • last reviewed date
  • next review date
  • current owner
  • maintenance action

This gives you a quick view of the content’s maintenance state while you edit it.

Change the Owner

Use the Owner field to assign responsibility for the content.

This is helpful when different team members are responsible for keeping different sections of the site up to date.

Choose a Maintenance Action

Use the Maintenance Action field when you want to update the content lifecycle state.

Available actions include:

  • Mark as Reviewed
  • Snooze Review
  • Archive Content
  • Unarchive Content

If you choose Snooze Review, additional options appear so you can choose the snooze duration or a custom date.
