Customers already enjoy page-based publishing from within Compose, our app for simplified editing and publishing. But they weren’t able to schedule content to be published at a future date or confirm that the content would publish successfully in the first place.

Now customers using Compose with the customizable content model can schedule a Compose page to be published or unpublished at a future date from within Compose. And to confirm that the page will publish successfully at that future date, customers can use the new "Validate" feature to check for errors on their page, such as empty fields or validation errors. Both features can be found as options under the "Publish" menu.

Compose handles pages as a group of connected content that can be referenced and published together as a unit. Accordingly, this new scheduled publishing feature publishes the page root entry along with all of the referenced entries and assets that are connected to it. In keeping with the customizable content model approach, Compose will not publish any references that are also pages (aggregate roots, in technical terms).
