Scheduled Transitions
Scheduled Transitions are used when making a new revision of the content and to have it
published at a certain date and time.
Video Walkthrough
Creating a Scheduled Transition
1. “Edit” the page as normal

Under “Revision log message”, write a message so you know what the update is for. This is for internal purposes only.
3. Click “Save” to save the revision. This will keep the previous version of the content live on
the site while you are working on a new draft.
4. Go to the “Scheduled Transitions” tab

NOTES:
- Must be 15 minutes or more in the future to take effect.
- Do not edit the page again after scheduling the transition or you may run into conflicts.
- You can delete a scheduled transition and recreate it if changes are needed.
- You can transition between states in whichever manner you prefer, ie. Published to Unpublished.
