Can you explain how the expired flag works?

An entry can have the usual published/unpublished state, which ultimately controls whether the entry is visible in the front end. In additional an entry has an 'expired' flag which works in conjunction with the 'state' flag. An entry may become expired when it has been displayed for more than the specified visibility period (expressed in days). Once expired the entry is no longer visible in the front end as it is also 'unpublished'.

Depending upon the component settings when an entry 'expires' it may also be automatically deleted. If not automatically deleted it is possible to change the entry flags in the back end. If an 'expired' entry is re-enabled, it is not necessarily made visible again.
