Share Media with an Expiration on PIX for iOS

You can send content in the PIX for iOS application with an expiration. If you share content with this option, the content you share will be removed from the recipient's Inbox upon expiration.

*Get Access to Send with Expiration *

You must have the ability to send content to use the Send with Expiration feature. If you do not have the ability to send content, request permission from your project’s gatekeeper.

Share a Playlist with expiration

While you can share an individual item for expiration, it is strongly recommended that any content you share be enclosed within a Playlist.

To share with an expiration:

1. Select the Playlist you wish to share.
2. Click the 3 dots on the right side of your screen and select Send.
3. The send window will appear.
4. Enter the recipients, subject, and message in the Send Items window.
5. Below the “Add Message…” section, select Send with Expiration.
6. Select a date and time you would like the content to expire.
7. When entering the date and time, please note that your selection will respect the timezone you are in.

Send a notification with expiry time and date:

Leave the Send Alerts toggled on to send the recipients an email notification. Toggle to off to prevent an email from being sent.

The notification will contain a link that takes the recipient directly to the item after logging in. The email will also list the date and time the content is due to expire.

Remove or change an expiration date

An expiration cannot be edited once it has been set. To cancel or adjust an expiration:

• Send the item or playlist as a Normal Send, giving the recipient unlimited time to access the content. (This cancels the expiration)
• Send the item or playlist again with a new expiration date/time. (This adjusts the expiration)

Important Notes about sending with an Expiration

• Playlists sent with an expiration cannot be edited. To make a playlist editable again it must be re-sent without expiration to all recipients who received it with an expiration.
• A recipient cannot forward a playlist or create a new playlist using items that have been sent to them with expiration.
• On the Activity tab of a playlist or file, the expiration date/time will be visible.
• If a recipient has folder access to files that have been sent to them for expiration, their access to those files via the Files section will not be removed.
• Currently, the send with expiration feature is only available in PIX for iOS 2.9.14+.
