Issue
When editing a web content article that has a publication date set in the past, the Schedule Publication dialog appears with an empty date field. This behavior occurs for both newly created content scheduled for the past and for content that was created and published in a previous version of Liferay.
How can I view the previous publication date(s) of a web content article?

Resolution
To view the publication dates of previous web content versions (i.e., for auditing or reference purposes), follow these steps:
-
Navigate to the web content list at Site Menu → Content & Data → Web Content
-
Click the actions menu (
) next to the desired web content article
-
Select View History
-
In the history view, the Display Date column shows the publication date for each version of the content
The Schedule Publication dialog is intended to set a date in the future for publishing new or modified web content. As such, if an article's display date has already passed, the dialog will not display this historic date.
