Publish a modern page on a given time
My users would like the ability to publish a modern page on a given time. Now it is only possible to publish a page directly. Make it possible to publish a modern page on time the user (optionally) enters in a datetime field.

We’re currently working on this feature now. You’ll be able to specify when your modern page actually gets published (date/time).

Hi - I am looking to be able to schedule my news posts out for future updates. I found this on Microsoft's site: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/schedule-a-sharepoint-page-or-news-post-to-go-live-at-a-specific-time-4b81873c-9bbc-4307-b7ea-7b6662ff1af2 Looks like the option is already available in SharePoint Online. Do we have a date when Humana will activate it? This is a very valuable option and we could use it going into 2021. Thank you.

Also, while we are on the subject the newsfeed filter for a page property should include Greater than OR EQUAL TO and Less than OR EQUAL TO.

Please make it possible to schedule unpublishing as well :)

What is the status on this one? It would be important to get this in use as soon as possible. Thank you.

I can see the same(-ish) question posted before, but...
"Do you have a date for when we can expect this very natural feature for a tool like SharePoint, to be implemented?"Another thing: The length of the "terms of service". -If it is a joke, it's a good one. If not, I think the length itself is a bit hostile.

Additionally, I'd like to know if the page (before reaching publish date and time) will be able to stay a secret to the creator only? Right now I think others in the Member group of a Communication site would be able to see other editors' drafts even when not yet published... which would not always be nice!

Wondering what's the status of this feature. It seems very overdue. Please help!

What is the status and expected release of this feature? Almost live with a new intranet based on Communication sites and the Communication department is really looking forward to this feature.

Please tell us when it will be available for us. because last Ignite there where some demo's about this. At least list it on the road map so I can tell my customers when they can probably use it.

Agreed with everyone else. Please publish this feature in the Roadmap.

Any news?? Our contributors cannot believe that this BASIC feature isn't available out of the box. Please, as requested by a number of others in this thread, add it to the Roadmap at least.

Please add this to the Roadmap for tracking...

Assuming that this will also include the scheduling of publishing news then I'm really really happy to see that this is being worked on. Is there any update on when this might be expected? (I can then push to make sure it is on my organisations tenant asap once released).

A great feature, please add to the roadmap

Any ideas on when this is going to be released?

Please include unpublishing, it's just as important as a scheduled publish date. As long as you are in the code checking dates, just make sure it is in a date range. That is just as easy as checking if a date has passed and solves two problems at once.

Here is how I do that. Set a custom property date type for the publishing date of the news. When you create the news, save it as draft. User a flow to publish the news when the date is correct.

+1 Scheduled Publishing would be useful also the ability to have an expiry date on content.

Very much agree. This is critical enough for us that we are custom building our own version. We would love this to be an OOTB feature.
