Scheduling publication¶
There are three ways in which you can schedule content to be published, revealed or hidden in the future:
- Scheduler tab in any Page block's configuration
- Content Scheduler block on a Page
- Publish later option when editing content
Scheduler tab ¶
The Scheduler tab is available in the configuration of all Page blocks. You can use it to set the date and time when the block becomes visible and when it disappears from a Page. If you configure the reveal and/or hide dates for a Page block, you can then see the scheduled blocks (except for the Content Scheduler) in the calendar. This way you can see what content will be available in the future.
Content Scheduler block ¶
In the Content Scheduler block you can select Content items to be displayed at a selected time.
For each Content item you can choose an airtime - a date and time in the future. At this time the Content item will become visible.
The Content Scheduler block has a limit of Content items. If the limit is filled and a new Content item is displayed, the oldest item will disappear from the block.
Date-based publishing¶
When editing a Content item, select Publish later in the menu on the right.
You will see a Set publication date and time window. Choose a date and time and the content will be published at that time.
If you had planned a future publication date and enter the edit mode of the same Content item, you also have a new option in the menu: Discard publish later. Use it to remove the previously selected publication date.
You can also reschedule or cancel planned publications. To easily browse all the future events, use the Calendar widget.
Date-based hiding¶
When your Content item is published, you can schedule a date and time and the content will be hidden at that time. To do this, go to the Content tab and select Content structure or Media. Then, navigate to the Content item that you want to hide and click Hide in the menu.
Once a Content item is hidden, it is unavailable on the front page and inactive in the Content Tree. This change affects the Content item in all of its Locations.
Timeline ¶
The timeline in Page mode shows all changes that will happen to the Page in the future.
You can use the slider to preview what the Page will look like at a given time. Use the button on the right of the time to see a list of all upcoming changes.
Calendar widget¶
The calendar widget enables you to view and perform actions on various events. Out of the box, it displays Content items and Page blocks scheduled for future publication, but your page administrator can configure custom events. Therefore, the calendar can contain other events, e.g. national holidays, important dates, etc.
To access the calendar widget, in the Content Panel, open the Calendar tab.
You can switch between different views to see events planned for a certain day, week, or month. You can also use filters to focus on certain events displayed in the calendar.
Tip
If the number of events to display in a selected view exceeds the configured limit, some events remain hidden. To view the full list of events, click Load More.
To access the calendar features, use the following buttons:
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
 |
Display the current day regardless of the view. |
 |
Navigate through months, weeks, or days. |
 |
Switch between month, week, or day view. |
 |
Switch between the calendar and list view, |
 |
Access and apply calendar filters. |
Calendar filters¶
With numerous events appearing in the calendar widget, you can declutter the view by applying filters. You can filter by the events' type or modified language in all three views (month, week, and day).
Access all available filters by clicking the Filters button.
To apply filters, select or deselect entities from the Types or Modified language list. The calendar view refreshes automatically.
Calendar toolbar¶
The calendar widget toolbar displays events you select and gives you access to actions assigned to them. The available actions appear in the upper-right corner of the toolbar when you select an event. You can select multiple events of the same type and perform bulk actions on them, e.g. reschedule or cancel publication.
Note
Actions available in the toolbar may vary depending on the custom configuration. For details, contact your page administrator.
To select, click on all events of the same type you want to add to the toolbar list.
Rescheduling or cancelling publications¶
In case of publishable Content items (e.g. articles), you can change or cancel their planned publication using the Reschedule or Cancel publication buttons. These buttons are available on the My dashboard screen, and in the Calendar widget.
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
 |
