(in v4.2.3) You mean in the Store repository (workspace)? You should not have to worry to save info there explicitly. All you should need to do is to make information available in the workflow context and it should be persisted automatically. > > Q3) How is the de-publication actually working?

As I said it is workflow driven. Look at the default workflow. There is one "sleep" loop before actually activating the content waiting for start date and there is another sleep for endData after the activation, optionally executing deactivate command in the same flow instance.
