Schedule post publishing

How to get there: Open any post → meta panel on the right → click the Schedule for later row → pick a date and time.

Set a future date and time to auto-publish a post. The post stays hidden from end users until that moment, then goes live and (for changelog boards) triggers the changelog subscriber email.

How it works

1. Open the post you want to schedule.
2. In the meta panel, click the Schedule for later row.
3. Pick a date and time in the picker, then click Save.

The meta row now shows the scheduled date. The post:

• Stays hidden from end users until the scheduled time arrives.
• Is visible to admins, who see a "Scheduled" indicator and the publish time.
• Goes live automatically when the time arrives. No manual action is required.

To remove the schedule and keep the post hidden indefinitely, click Clear. To publish immediately instead, clear the schedule, the post follows its normal published/unpublished state.

Combining with the changelog

Scheduling is most useful on changelog boards. A common workflow:

1. Draft the changelog entry whenever it is ready (often days in advance).
2. Set Schedule for later to the planned release date and time.
3. When that time arrives, the entry becomes visible and a changelog email goes out to every subscriber.

This lets you align changelog announcements with product release windows or marketing schedules without staying up to hit publish.

Combining with internal posts

If you want to keep the post completely hidden (not just unpublished) while you finalise it, also mark it internal. Clear the internal flag before the scheduled publish time, or the post will stay hidden even after publishing.

Time zone

The picker uses your browser's local time zone. The stored time is converted to UTC on the server, so a post scheduled for "9:00 AM" in one time zone will publish at that local moment regardless of where your server is hosted.
