How to add/remove rules applied to a page when it gets published

[HanL]

Hi 

I am trying to remove a rule which is applied when I publish a page from AEM author to publisher. Basically what that rule does is update any expired/no longer exist URLs in that page to company website home page. How can I do that?

Thank you

Hi @HanL 
You may need to write an replication/sling distribution based listener to listen the publish/unpublish event

@HanL  What do you mean by rule? Is that a workflow process runs when you publish and set the broken link with home page url for those links? We need to understand how the rule is applied to activation of page before you think about removing it. 

If you want to attach a feature related to activation event, you can add it through event listener like Arun mentioned.
