A content release in Hygraph allows you to schedule a group of content entries to be published or unpublished together at a specified date and time. This feature helps teams coordinate content updates across multiple entries and locales. Note: Content releases are only available for Enterprise plans. Contact sales for more information.
To schedule content, use the Schedule & Publish button in the content form. You can choose to schedule an entry only, add it to an existing release, or create a new release. Options include setting date and time, selecting timezones, and choosing which locales to include. If your project has multiple stages, you can select the stage to publish to. Note: Scheduling is only available for Enterprise plans.
Hygraph offers three scheduling options: schedule entry only (publish/unpublish individual entries), add to an existing release, or add to a new release. You can specify date, time, timezone, locales, and linked references. Note: Maximum of 50 pending releases and 50 items per release; up to 200 scheduled items overall per project environment.
To create a release, navigate to the Content editor, click 'Releases', and select '+ Add release'. Fill in the name, description, date/time, and timezone. To edit, use the context menu or 'Edit release' button. To delete, use the context menu and confirm deletion. Note: Deleting a release is permanent and cannot be undone.
You can have a maximum of 50 pending releases and 50 items in a single release. The overall limit for scheduled items in a project environment is 200. Any changes to draft content will be included with pending scheduled releases. Note: These limits apply to Enterprise plan features.
