Describe the feature you'd like

When using BookStack as a documentation / procedures platform, it is necessary that all articles are up-to-date. Now, it is easy to forget to review older pages, resulting in outdated documentation. It should be a great feature that per created 'page', we can set a 'review date'. Eg. '6 months' or 'annual'. Page editors (or editor groups) would receive an email that the page needs to be reviewed. When they don't review the page in time, the page is taken offline so that there is no old documentation available.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

This is necessary for some companies to comply to (gov) regulations.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No, not in BookStack.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

1 to 5 years

Additional context

No response

Thanks for the request @KrisLowet, but I feel the fundamental request is already covered by existing issue #2123 so I'm going to therefore close this off as a duplicate.

Note: It is possible to create some level of searchable date indicator as I mention in #439.
If handy with PHP, it could be possible to use that with our logical theme system to run additional automation/actions.
