Schedule releases
Use releases to publish multiple page changes at once.
When you need to coordinate multiple page changes, such as new pages and content updates, releases let you bundle them together and publish everything at once.
Common use cases include:
- Product launches requiring multiple new pages
- Content updates spanning several pages
- Page deletions with corresponding link updates
Releases can be published on demand or scheduled for a specific date and time.
Manage your releases in the Planned tab of the Page Builder.
