Page Scheduling

For more information, see Pages.

Displaying different versions of a page going live at different points in time.

Page scheduling is a core components of the unroole page versioning strategy. Scheduling allows admins to configure each page version to go live at a date and time of the users choosing. These versions will automatically switch once the appropriate date and time has passed, without user intervention. This allows admins to setup an automated scheduling system for their page versions reducing human error.

Some scenarios where scheduling can be helpful:

• Updating page content on a new version and scheduling it to go live at a specific date/time.
• Creating season or event specific versions of pages months before an event
• Temporary short lived promotional pages.
• Slowly rolling out new site functionality page by page rather than all at once.
• Gracefully replacing or temporarily removing old out of date pages

Changing when a specific version of a page goes live is a fairly straightforward task.

1. Navigate to the edit panel of the specific page version you wish to change.
2. Change the 'Goes Live On' property to the date/time you wish this page to be visible to end users.
   • Note the timezone when changing this parameter
3. Click 'Submit' to change the time when the page version goes live.

'Goes live on' time can be scheduled down to one minute apart but can never have the same date/time as another version on the same page. If you wish to have two similar versions of the same page please use page templates instead to make a copy of the page.
