Scheduling
You can make pages and posts live at a future time, and take pages off the site at a chosen time, without being present when it happens. Chinaski checks for due content every minute.
Scheduled publishing
On a page or post editor, use Schedule Publish with the date and time you want it to go live (shown in your site’s timezone). Leave it blank and the item publishes immediately.
When that time arrives, the content goes live automatically; you don’t need to be online. The CMS polls at most once a minute, and it fires a site build at the moment your content is due, so the static pages appear without a manual rebuild.
Scheduled unpublishing
Pages additionally support a Scheduled Unpublish Date & Time. Once the moment passes, the page is taken off the site at the next scheduled check; the same mechanism applies, triggering a rebuild so the page disappears from the public output.
Two safeguards overlap so expired content never lingers: the runtime scheduler flips the published state on schedule, and independently the builder skips anything outside its publish window during rendering.
Schedule history
Each and every schedule-driven state change lands in the item’s Schedule history, viewable per page or post: who scheduled it, what actions ran, and when.
Receiving notifications
- An email can be sent each time scheduled content publishes, listing each item’s title and language. Set the notification address on the Integrations settings tab.
- Scheduled content going live can also fire your publish webhook: wire external systems that care about new content (the Integrations tab again).
Automatic recurring content
For posts, turn on Recurring (daily, weekly, or monthly) and the post becomes a repeating item: each time it publishes, its schedule is advanced to the next interval and unpublished until due again. This is the correct mechanism for promo pages, weekly tips, or similar content you never want to forget.
Unpublishing and changing your mind
- Cancel a schedule: remove the scheduled publish time for a page or post: it stays unpublished until you publish it manually, and the unschedule is recorded in the audit log.
- Publish now: from the calendar or the scheduled list, can step a scheduled page live at once. If the workflow requires review approval (not admin), this instead submits the page for admin review with a message explaining what happened.
The content calendar
The Calendar screen shows scheduled content across the site: what’s queued, dates, and per-item actions. From there you can remove a schedule or publish something early.
What ends up on the live site
Scheduled URLs are never built before their time; the builder excludes them at build time, so scheduled pages stay 404 until their moment. After the publish moment runs, the next build (which the scheduler fires) brings the page or post live.
