What aspect of Knowledge articles does the Valid to date affect when using the instant Retire workflow?

The Valid to date is crucial in managing the lifecycle of Knowledge articles, particularly when using the instant Retire workflow. When this date is reached, it indicates that the article is no longer considered valid or applicable. The instant Retire workflow automates the retirement process, so once the Valid to date is surpassed, the system automatically marks the article as retired, removing it from active use and availability.

This aspect is vital for maintaining the relevance and accuracy of the knowledge base, ensuring that outdated information does not remain accessible to users. By automatically retiring an article after its Valid to date, organizations can effectively manage their knowledge assets, keeping their content current and reliable.

The other options may relate to different functionalities or workflows, but they do not capture the core automatic retirement process triggered specifically by the Valid to date in the instant Retire scenario.
