    I am migrating a fair amount of content. I would like to have the publication dates reflect the original date of publication rather than "today"...However I am at a loss finding a way to do this in the manager...... Any assistance appreciated.

      That's stored in the publishedon Field (and/or the createdon field). Maybe there's a way to set that field before the import.

      One thing to watch out for is that if you later re-publish the Resource, the date will be set to Today.

      How are you importing the Resources and what platform are they on to begin with?

      As a last resort, you can edit the publishedon field in the front end with NewsPublisher. Hopefully, it won't come to that. wink

        If it really means going through the resources one by one, Group Edit would be quicker:

        Just configure it to show the publishedon field in the table.
