Hello! I was wondering if there was a way to set a timer on topics so that they auto lock after a certain number of days. Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to make this automated so all topics are locked after X amount of time rather than manually setting a single topic? We’re a tech company and update our client weekly, so after a month or so, the info becomes irrelevant a lot of the time.

Something like auto-close after a certain number of hours?
