This is the date when the approved document becomes available to readers.
To change the current selection, click the Publication Date box, and then do one of the following:
Click Publish the document as soon as it gets approved.
Click Wait until specified date, which the document owner will select when using this template for a new document. Also, select the Require reading before publication check box if you want the notification sent as soon as the document is approved. Assigned readers can then access the document during the interval between approval and publication (the pending status).
Notes:
If the document is approved after the specified publication date, it will be published immediately.
Users who mark the document as read before the publication date will not be required to read it again when it is published.
