Frequently Asked Questions

Scheduled Publishing Features

What is scheduled publishing in Hygraph?

Scheduled publishing in Hygraph allows users to set specific dates and times for content entries to be published or unpublished. This can be done for individual entries or as part of a group called a "release." The feature is only available on Enterprise plans. Note: Scheduled publishing is not available on non-Enterprise plans; contact sales for upgrade options.

How do I schedule a content entry for publishing or unpublishing?

When editing a content entry, use the dropdown on the Publish button to select Schedule. You can then choose the action (publish or unpublish), set the date and time, select the timezone, and pick which localizations to include. If your project has more than the default stages, you can select the stage to publish to. Note: This process is only available for Enterprise plan users.

Can I schedule multiple entries together as a release?

Yes, you can bundle multiple content entries into a single release to be published or unpublished at a specified date and time. You can add entries to an existing release or create a new release, providing a name, description, date, time, and timezone. Note: The maximum number of items in a single release is 50, and this feature is only available on Enterprise plans.

Where can I view and manage scheduled entries and releases?

You can view scheduled entries in Content > Schedule > Entries and scheduled releases in Content > Schedule > Releases. The tables allow sorting by target date and filtering by status (All, Completed, Failed, Pending). You can also remove scheduled entries or edit/delete releases from these sections. Note: Deletions are irreversible.

What are the limits for scheduled publishing in Hygraph?

By default, you can have up to 50 pending releases, 50 items in a single release, and 200 pending scheduled items overall within your project environment. These limits can be customized based on your plan. Note: The date and time for a release cannot be set in the past.

What happens if a scheduled publication fails?

If a scheduled publication fails, you can hover over the Failed status in the entries table to get more information. The modal allows you to copy the error or contact support for assistance. Note: Some failures may require manual intervention or support contact.
