The core value of this feature lies in its significant improvement of the flexibility and automation level of content operation.Whether it is an individual blogger, a corporate marketing team, or a media organization, everyone can optimize their workflow, reduce repetitive operations, and invest more energy in content quality and strategy planning through scheduled publishing.
How to set up scheduled publishing: a few simple steps, master time
When creating or editing articles on the AnQi CMS backend, you will see a field named "Publish Time." This field is the key to controlling the display time of the content.
- Default stateWhen you first create an article, the 'Publish Time' field is usually filled with the current date and time by default. If you save and publish immediately, the article will go live right away.
- Set future timeIf you want the article to be displayed at a specific time in the future, just click on the 'Publish Time' field.The system will pop up a calendar and time selector, allowing you to easily select a specific date in the future and the precise hour, minute, and even second.

When does the content appear: Precise triggering, on time launch
Once the article is set to be published on a schedule, it will not be displayed on the front page immediately.This means that before the preset time comes, this article will not be visible to the public, regardless of whether the user browses through the list page of the website, searches through search engines, or tries to access the article link directly.
This article will take effect immediately and automatically change from the 'pending publication' status to the 'published' status only when the system clock precisely reaches the moment you set as the 'publish time'.This will appear in various visible areas of the website just like a normally published article, for all visitors to browse.This "behind-the-scenes preparation, precise launch" mechanism ensures that the timing of content exposure is completely in line with your operational planning.

- Serial content连载If your website publishes serial articles or tutorials, regular publishing can ensure that each issue of content is presented to readers according to the plan, in a regular manner, maintaining user stickiness.
- Time Zone Cross PostingFor websites targeting global users, you can utilize the scheduled publishing feature to set content to go live at different reading time points for various target user groups, achieving broader reach.
Combine template tags: Track and display the publication time
For template developers and advanced users, the actual publication time of the article (i.e., the time when the 'Publication Time' field finally takes effect) can be obtained and displayed through template tags. After the content of the article is published, its correspondingCreatedTimeThis field will record this exact publish timestamp.

For example:){{stampToDate(item.CreatedTime, "2006-01-02 15:04")}}This ensures that even if the article is scheduled for release, its time information can be accurately tracked and presented to visitors.
