Hi, first time here asking :)

Is it possible to set an expiration date for knowledge base articles?

I want to make sure that articles are kept up to date, and some articles must be updated more often than others. Preferably, I’d get an email notification about upcoming expiring articles, so that I don’t have to actively look for them in my list.

Thanks!

As an impartial commenter on this, I would say that an expiry date on knowledge articles should be a must-have for effective knowledge management. It’s the easiest way to ensure that shared knowledge is still relevant, and not inaccurate, as part of the curation needed to make IT staff best informed and to get people (end users) proactively self-helping. In my experience, a “bad” knowledge article is a self-help killer.
