Post scheduling and published date editing

#ProductUpdate
We’re excited to announce 2 new features: you can now schedule posts to go live at a specific time and edit the published date of your posts!

How to schedule a Post

Need to announce something later? Here’s how to schedule a post:
1. Add markdown front-matter to your post

Frontmatter:

===
publishAt: 2024-09-26T17:36:02+01:00
===

Feel free to use any other time tool you prefer, just make sure it’s in UTC/ISO 8601 to avoid timezone issues.

How to check if the scheduling is working?

You'll see a future date shown here if you have set it right in preview mode:

If you didn't see the time (only "preview mode"), make sure you have set the right front-matter, the date is in ISO 8601 format and it's a future date.

How to edit the published date of a post

Previously, Quotion used the created or updated date as the published date of a post. Sometimes, you may want to customize the date. Here is how to edit the published date:

1. Follow the same steps as how to schedule a post
2. Change publishAt to a past date

Caption: I changed the published date of this post to 9/1/1999 to demonstrate this feature.
