Metadata	Description
Validity and Hide if not valid	If a validity date has been defined in the document properties, the Validity field is prefilled with this date and the Hide if not valid checkbox is activated.
Save data of form without publishing	If you activate the Save data of form without publishing checkbox, the data for the document is saved. However, the document is not published in the Media Pool. This procedure may be required, for instance, if you are editing the copy of a document that is already published in the Media Pool but do not want to publish the copy.
