  • A list of retired content on your site including Skillsoft and custom content with the date the content was first published and the date it was retired.
  • Only content that has been used in promotions, assignments, journeys, and channels or has activity logged against it and has been retired.
  • Replacement content if it has been identified and the reason for retirement.
