Sometimes you may have SharePoint news posts edited and ready to go, but have to wait for an official announcement or date to arrive before you can share the news. Rather than wait for that date and manually publish, we can schedule news posts to go live at a date and time we specify.
In order for this to work, we have to turn on a setting for the Site Pages
library in which we’re creating the news.
Only site owners can enable page and news publishing for their site. If you’re a site member, ask your site owner to follow the steps in the first section.
Scheduling SharePoint pages and news posts to publish on a specific date and time can be done through the use of workflows. Workflows are automated processes that allow you to specify when content should be published, as well as who should receive notifications about it. To schedule SharePoint pages and news posts, create a workflow in your site or list with the following steps:
- Set up conditions for when an item will be scheduled (e.g., if the current date is before the specified publication date).
- Add an action step to send emails to any stakeholders who need to know when something is going live.
- Create another action step that changes the item’s status from Draft or Pending Approval to Published once its publication date has been reached.
- Finally, add a timer job so that items can automatically go live at their designated times without manual intervention from users or administrators.
