How do I make my content expire?

Maximize your content's security with Zight's content expiration features! Available exclusively to our paid users, these tools allow you to set expiration dates on your shared content, ensuring it remains private and secure after its intended use. Whether you're an individual user or managing a team or enterprise account, this guide will walk you through the various methods to apply these settings effectively. Let's explore how you can keep your content under control!

In Zight you can set your content to expire through the app:

• Open your app and click on the lock icon (or select the three dots next to your content and click on ‘secure item’)
• Select the type of expiration you wish to use

Or through your web dashboard on the viewer page:

• Open your web dashboard
• Click on the ‘eye’ icon for the content you wish to edit
• Click on the ‘share’ button on the viewer page and then click ‘edit’

For team and enterprise accounts, your admin can set an expiration date on all of your team’s content. They can choose to move the content to the trash bin when expired or permanently deleted. Make sure to select if you’d like the team’s content to be moved directly to the trash bin after expiring or to be deleted permanently.

Admins can access these features by:

• Going to their web dashboard and clicking on their team settings
• Select the ‘files tab’
• Select the expiration date you wish to choose and hit ‘update’

note: only files created after this retention policy is set will be affected by it.
