✨ Keep Your Newsletters Clean: Filter Out Old Placements Using Publication Date
You now have more control over which placements appear in your newsletters — helping you avoid surprises and ensure the content shared with your teams is always fresh and relevant.
🎯 Why This Matters
Sometimes, older placements can appear in newsletters because they were only recently added to your feed — even though their actual publication date was weeks or months ago.
This can happen when placements are:
- Recovered manually
- Added later due to system updates or feed configuration changes
- Manually inserted or edited
- Processed late by our systems
Even though these articles are old, they can still appear in your newsletter simply because they were recently integrated — leading to confusion and frustration.
💡 What’s New?
You can now define a publication date offset when setting up your newsletter. This lets you decide how far back a placement’s publication (or issue) date can go in order to be included.
Here’s what this means:
- For online and social placements, we look at the publication date.
- For print placements, we use the issue date.
- If a placement’s date is older than the allowed offset, it will be excluded from the newsletter — even if it was just added to the feed.
⚙️ How to Use It
When creating or editing your newsletter settings in Discover:
- Go to the Newsletter setup panel.
- Locate the new “Publication offset” setting.
- Select how many days back you want to include placements from — for example, 7, 14, or 30 days.
- Save your changes.
This feature uses an autocomplete dropdown, so it’s quick and easy to adjust.
📝 Note: If no offset is set, Discover will continue using the integration date, meaning placements added late (even if old) may still appear.
