Clarification on Knowledge Article Moving to “Pending Retirement” State

Hi Team,

 

I would like to understand how a Knowledge Article moves to the Pending Retirement state in ServiceNow.

 

  • Is this state triggered automatically based on a defined timeline or expiry date?
  • Is there any scheduled job or workflow that controls this transition?
  • Or does it require manual action from the Knowledge Manager/Owner?

 

 

Could you please clarify if there is a standard timeline configuration that moves an article to Pending Retirement?

 

Thank you in advance for your guidance.
