Scheduling Pages

Summary

Use this guide when you need to:

  • publish pages on a planned schedule,
  • verify scheduled job status,
  • troubleshoot delayed or failed publish events.

Scheduling model

SkyCMS supports scheduled publishing so content can go live at a specific future date/time.

How it works:

  • Editors prepare and review content in draft.
  • A publish time is set using Publish Later.
  • The scheduler activates eligible content automatically.
  • Prior live versions are replaced according to article versioning behavior.

Outcome

After completing this guide, you should be able to queue a page for future publication and confirm the scheduled job is visible and healthy.

Create a scheduled publish

  1. Open the page in editor.
  2. Select Review/Publish.
  3. Choose Publish Later.
  4. Pick future date/time.
  5. Confirm and save.

Best practices:

  • Schedule important pages well ahead of launch.
  • Double-check timezone assumptions.
  • Re-preview right before the scheduled time if possible.

Review schedule status

Administrators and Editors can review scheduler state in the page scheduler dashboard.

Use it to:

  • verify upcoming jobs,
  • inspect recent execution history,
  • identify failed jobs needing retry.

Verification

Scheduling is working when:

  • the page shows the intended future publish state,
  • the scheduler dashboard lists the job,
  • the page publishes at the expected time without manual intervention.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and checks:

  • Page did not publish: verify scheduled time is in the future and check scheduler dashboard for failures.
  • No notification received: verify account email and mail delivery.
  • Wrong scheduled time: update schedule and re-save the version.
