    3. To specify a date and time at which you want the selected item to be unpublished from the website (that is, removed from the site), in the Unpublish settings tab, select Schedule unpublish and specify a date and time at which you want the selected item to be unpublished from the website, using the same controls as in the Publish content later option.
    4. You can give the publishing of this item priority over the publishing of other content being published at the same time by selecting the Advanced tab and selecting Override publish/unpublish priorities and setting the priority to high.
    5. You can publish this item also to websites that inherit content from the current website, by selecting the Advanced tab and selecting Also publish/unpublish in Child Publications.
    6. You can see which items are going to be published or republished when you click Publish by clicking Show Items to Publish.
