AnQiCMS cleverly integrated this feature into the document addition process.When we are editing a new article or product information in the background, we just need to find the 'publish time' field, besides filling in the basic information such as title, content, category, and tags.Here is the default display of the current publish time, but you can easily change it to any date and time in the future, such as "2024-08-01 09:00:00".Once set and saved, this content will act like a quiet observer, in the background of the system in a "pending publication" state.When the set time comes, AnQiCMS will automatically execute the publishing operation, making the content appear on time in front of users.This simple and intuitive operation method allows even those who are new to the system operations to quickly get started and achieve automated content management.

1. Can I cancel or change the scheduled publish time if I have already set it?Of course you can. The scheduling release function of AnQiCMS is very flexible.You just need to enter the corresponding document editing interface, find the 'publish time' field previously set.You can change it to a new future time, or simply clear the time (which will usually return it to draft status or require manual publication), or even change its status to 'draft', so the content will not be automatically published at the preset time.

2. If the set publish time has arrived but the server or AnQiCMS system is temporarily down, will the content still be published?AnQiCMS is developed in Go language, it has a high-performance and high-concurrency architecture, and its stability is usually very high.If the system is temporarily unable to run at the preset release time due to force majeure (such as server downtime), the content may not be published on time.However, once the system is restored to normal, AnQiCMS usually handles these "expired" publishing tasks, publishing them as soon as possible to minimize the impact.We recommend that you regularly check the system logs and website status to ensure stable operation.

3. Can the scheduling feature only be used for new content? Can I use it to schedule updates for existing content?The scheduling publishing function is mainly for the first public release of content.If you want to schedule updates to existing content, the operation will be slightly different.You need to edit the existing content, save the changes, and these changes will take effect immediately.If you want to simulate a "repost" of an old piece of content, you can change its "publish time" to a future date. When the new set time arrives, the content will be considered as "reposted" and displayed in the latest list and other locations, but its URL usually will not change unless you also modify the URL alias.
