Share Media with an Expiration on macOS

You can send content in the PIX 2 for macOS 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 Send button in the top toolbar, or right-click and select ‘Send’.
3. The send window will appear.
4. Enter recipients, a subject, and a message.
5. Select Send with Expiration in the pulldown menu in the bottom left-hand corner of the send window.
6. Select a date you would like the content to expire using the calendar.
7. Enter a date and time you would like the content to expire using the HH:MM format. (Note: the time will respect the timezone you are in).

Send a notification with expiry time and date

Leave the Send Alerts box checked to send the recipients an email notification. Uncheck the box 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.
• The send with expiration feature for the PIX 2 application is only available in versions 2.10+. It is not supported in versions 2.93 or 2.81.
