Schedule Publish

Introduction

Schedule Publish is a feature-flag plugin in the Prepare menu that allows authors to queue a page or sheet to be published at a future date and time. It must be explicitly enabled in your prepare config before it becomes available to authors.

Enabling Schedule Publish

Add a row to the prepare tab in your DA Site Config or DA Org Config with only the title filled in:

title path icon ref
Schedule Publish

Because Schedule Publish is an Adobe-provided plugin, the path field is not required. DA will look up the plugin automatically by its title.

Using Schedule Publish

  1. Open a document or sheet in DA.
  2. Click the Prepare menu button.
  3. Select Schedule publish.
  4. Choose a date and time for the publish to occur.
  5. Confirm the schedule. The content will be automatically published at the specified time.

Notes

  1. Scheduled publishes run against the content as it exists at the time of the scheduled publish, not at the time of scheduling. Make sure the document is in its final state before the scheduled time.
  2. When you schedule publish a piece of content individually, we preview that content automatically for you at that time so that there is always something to publish at the scheduled time.
  3. You can cancel or reschedule a pending publish by opening the Schedule Publish plugin again on the same document.
  4. Use the ref field in your prepare config to limit Schedule Publish to a specific audience, such as UAT testers, before rolling it out broadly.
