3. Set the future publish time:Click the date and time selector, and you can intuitively select a future date and specify it to the hour and minute.For example, if you want to publish a marketing article at 9:00 AM sharp on Monday, just set the date to Monday and the time to 09:00:00.2006-01-02 15:04:05The standard format is "Year-Month-Day Hour:Minute:Second".
