Articles have a status that governs their public visibility. Draft, Hidden, and Pending articles are not visible to public site visitors, so use these indicators while an article is in development (Draft), ready for publishing review (Pending), or pulled from the site for any reason (Hidden).

The remaining two status values are used to make an article Live (visible to all) or Sticky (usually used to display at the head of every page in the section, or on landing page lists). Users with sufficient privileges logged into the back-end of Textpattern can preview articles of any status.

An article has a publication date. By default for articles that are being published for the first time, the **Set timestamp to now** checkbox is checked, which sets the article publication date/time to the moment the Save/Publish button is clicked. From that point on, the timestamp will remain static, regardless of the number of times the article is saved and its publication status.

If you wish to alter the publication date for any reason (e.g. to schedule a post for future publication, or to adjust the order of articles in a date-ordered list) you may uncheck the checkbox and manually adjust the year, month, day, hour, minute and second values.

If you rather want the current time *when finally publishing* (or re-publishing) the article, ensure to check the **Reset timestamp to now** checkbox before you press 'Publish' or 'Save'. This option will always set the date and time at the moment you save the article.

Just like the [Publish date](#publish-date) which governs when an article appears on the site, an article can be set to automatically expire (disappear for the site) at a given date/time in the future. This is useful for time-bound content such as events or short promotional campaigns.
107109

108110
If the values in this field are left blank, the article never expires. Otherwise, adjust the year, month, day, hour, minute and second values to set an expiry. Check the **Set expiry to now** checkbox as a shortcut to set the article expiry to the moment the Save/Publish button is clicked.

A comma-separated list of keywords or tags that represent this article. This was historically where document keywords were housed that search engines used to build an idea of what your page was about, before semantic content took over. As such, this field is not used very often and is likely to be repurpossed as a general purpose tagging system in a future version of Textpattern.

Up to two categories may be assigned to an article to indicate what its content represents. This information can be used to filter articles grouped by category that may be from many sections.

Select a category from the dropdown lists for either Category 1 or 2. The nearby 'Edit' link will jump to the [Categories panel](#Categories) so the category tree may be manipulated.

If the **Accept comments** preference is enabled, this area allows you to override the site-wide commenting options on a per article basis.

The site-wide **Comments** preferences govern how comments are managed, attached to articles, and the comment invitation message that's displayed to visitors to encourage them to comment on your article. Two of these settings can be overridden for an individual article:
143+
144+
* **On by default?** Allows you to turn comments on or off for a particular article. The default value is the same as the site-wide **Comments on by default?** preference.
145+
* **Default invite** Allows you to change the comment invitation message for this article. The default message is the same as the site-wide **Default comments invite** preference.
