Content Section Enable/Disable Option

Would be nice to have the option to disable/enable a content section. I suppose it could also be useful to have expiration date for content that is tied to an event.
I have a client that runs events and I use content sections throughout the site. But when that content is no longer relevant, I would have to go to each page to change it.
Would be easier if I could just disable it in a single place.

    We used content section on BC for Covid communication, but we sometime need to enable or disable it.

    Disabling a section based on a expiration date would be great. I often need to display a notice that needs to go away on a certain date. I suppose one way to do this is to use a WebApp, but sometimes it's just simpler to add some criteria to a section.

    A simple 'enable/disable' toggle is most likely as a Phase 1. We've got a solution in mind for this, so will hopefully be able to implement soon.
    Adding in release/expiry dates would be a little further off.

    Matt Jones I would second this request. Specifically, the ability to Enable/Disable a Content Section (I think that's what Daniel is referring to here). And also the ability to schedule a content section to be live or expire by date (like in a web app item).

    Hi Daniel,
    Please could you add a little bit more information about what this would look like?
    Have you got a specific use case in mind?

      Matt Jones: In BC when you use the "Content Holders" you can unable it. We use it for exemple for Pop Up or else and we can desactivate it or re-activated as needed.

      No news about that option ? Because of covid regulation change I have to add a pop up to all my sites… Any good ideas ?

      Daniel Depaz: You can use a WebApp which has Enable/Disable built in. Or you can wrap the section in Liquid to turn it on or off.
