6. Managing your intranet

Keep content up to date

• 
  If out-of-date or contradictory information appears in different places on the intranet, people will quickly lose confidence in it.
  
• 
  Make sure everyone feels responsible for keeping pages that affect them up to date.
  
• 
  Put the date created and date due for review on every page.
  
• 
  Intranet software can flag pages due for review. Be wary of using any features that delete old content automatically - this may alienate whoever wrote it.
  
• 
  Because an intranet allows you to publish almost anything, it's tempting to do so. Resist this temptation - make sure any information you add is relevant and that you have a plan to keep it updated.
