Article database: can I change a record's category and published date?

[David N.]

I started an article (hidden) a little over a year ago and am now ready to publish it. I have since created a new category where that article belongs. 

If I publish (unhide) the article today, I want it to have today's date as the publication date, and I also want to move it to the correct category. 

How can I do that?

Moving between categories is an admin option both on the front- and the back-end. You just click “move”. 

Changing the publishing date depends on the field “publishing date” being activated in the field settings.

Thanks! Super easy. I was looking for a "category" field when editing the article - but this makes sense, much like moving a forum topic to a new forum.

Thanks again. Publishing date was enabled however even I, the admin, didn't have permissions to edit it. Giving it the proper permissions fixed it.
