How do I schedule a page to publish in the future?

Question:
How do I schedule a page to publish in the future?
Answer:

It's possible to schedule a page (or document) to publish on a date in the future (perfect if your work needs to go live over the weekend or at midnight). This only works on authorised pages. Here's what you do:

  1. In edit mode of your page, select the properties tab
  2. Tick the "Set new Release" checkbox
  3. Use the calendar to select the date you want the page to go live
  4. Select the time you want the page to go live
  5. Save
  6. Submit and Approve (or submit to your approver)

Note: Your page will be sent to the publishing queue at your scheduled date/time. It will not publish at this exact time. If therefore, you know there will be lots of other pages in the queue, it's worth scheduling your page to go live slightly earlier.
