Scheduled Publishing is a feature in Hygraph that allows users to schedule content items to be published or unpublished at a specific time and date in the future. Users can also bundle multiple items together in a "release" to publish or unpublish them simultaneously. This feature is available to all Hygraph users and helps teams plan content operations in advance. Source
With Scheduled Publishing, content teams can plan for individual content entries to be published or unpublished ahead of time, including per locale. This is useful for time-sensitive announcements or promotional pages, allowing teams to define when an entry should be in a certain stage without manual updates. Source
Releases are bundles of content items that are scheduled to be published or unpublished at the same date and time. The release section provides a birds-eye view of all content tied to a release, allowing teams to group content by posting strategy, type, locale, or language. This helps manage global content launches and promotional campaigns efficiently. Source
Each Hygraph project environment can have up to 200 pending scheduled items or releases in total. Each release can contain up to 50 content entries. These limits help teams plan and organize large-scale content operations while maintaining system performance. Source
Scheduled Publishing enables teams to plan campaigns and promotions across multiple touchpoints (website, social media, etc.), stay organized with a unified view of all scheduled content, free up time by creating content months in advance, and analyze content performance by tracking when items go live. It also creates transparency internally, as teams can see release overviews and scheduled items, improving collaboration and reducing stress. Source
Examples include scheduling the publishing and unpublishing of content in advance, releasing different localizations at different times, and coordinating content launches with external promotions like Black Friday campaigns. Teams can also use releases to manage global content launches and ensure consistent messaging across regions. Source

on Nov 12, 2021There are many use-cases in which changes to content stages need to be planned for in advance. To ensure that content operations proceed smoothly, Hygraph now offers the ability to schedule publishing and unpublishing your content.
Scheduled Publishing has landed at Hygraph. All Hygraph users now have the ability to schedule their content items to be published or unpublished in the future. Additionally, users can create releases to bundle items that should be published or unpublished at the same time. This new feature will automatically be available in your Hygraph project.
Content can be part of multiple individual schedules or releases, making sure that you can build up a cadence. Examples for this would be scheduling the publishing and the unpublishing of content in advance, or releasing different localizations at different times.

Scheduled Publishing is a powerful tool that gives both individual users and content teams control and flexibility over their content with the ability to plan in advance. With Hygraph’s new feature, users can publish in two different ways: publishing entries individually, or tie content pieces together as part of a release.
Scheduled items allow content teams to plan for content entries being published (or unpublished) ahead of time, individually, and per locale.
Taking a common scenario, if teams are planning to post or unpublished an announcement tied to a date (such as a Christmas blog post, or a promotional landing page), they have the option to define the time periods for when this entry should be in a certain stage, and avoid needing to manually update them every time a change is required.
Releases are what Hygraph calls content bundles that should be released at the same date and time. The release section of the Hygraph project gives users a birds-eye view over all the content that will go out tied to that release on a particular date, and a few ways that users and teams can group content according to a particular posting strategy.
Let’s take a common content-heavy example like Black Friday. Content and advertising teams can create different timed-release bundles in advance according to their promotional strategy as there are different needs of communication starting well in advance of the actual Black Friday promotion.
Releases allow teams to map content to launch in parallel with external promotions like commercials, other digital or traditional media buys or promotions. While grouping within a release dictates the publication date and time, teams can also create multiple releases based on content type, locale, and language, ensuring teams can manage content globally without being tied to their computers.
Releases have many other benefits for teams including:
Scheduled Publishing is available to all Hygraph users, but with certain restrictions for now. Overall, you can have up to 200 pending scheduled items or releases in total in your project per environment. Each Release can have up to 50 content entries within them.
