For each piece of content on your website, the CMS offers you the option to set a specific date and time for that content to be published live.  For example, you can prepare content a few weeks or days in advance, planning its future release to the live site by creating the content, setting the required publish date and time options and then approving the content.

1. Open the piece of content.
2. Click on the Options tab.
3. Click in the Publish date field.  Today's date and time will automatically be displayed and selected.
4. Alter the date and time as required. 
5. Update and Approve the piece of content.

Make sure you set the publish time to be at least two hours before it needs to go live. Do not set the publish time for exactly when you want the content to go live. There is no way to precisely publish a piece of content for a specific time - you have to work within the scheduled publish cycles.

For example, if you want a piece of content in the Schools channel to go live at 1pm, you need to set the publish time to be approx two hours previous to this - 11am. This is because the Schools channel publishes every two hours at 22 minutes past the hour, so you are aiming for the content to catch the 11:22am publish cycle. The content will then publish to the live site at approx noon.

Other channels, such as Research Centres, publish at different times. View the full list of scheduled publish cycles.
