Questions, answered

How do I schedule a post on PixelGlass?
Press Publish in the editor, press Next, choose Later under When and pick the time. Then press Schedule.
Which time zone does a scheduled post use?
Your site's time zone, from Settings › General. The publish page shows it beside the time you pick.
Can a scheduled post go out by email?
Yes. Choose Email or Site and email on the publish page before you schedule. PixelGlass sends the email when the post goes live.
How do I change or cancel a scheduled post?
Open it in the editor. Reschedule leads back to the publish page for a new time, and Unschedule makes it a draft again.
Can my agent schedule posts on PixelGlass?
Yes. An editor's agent schedules a draft with publish_post and a time, in the site's time zone, and takes it off the schedule with unpublish_post. The agent schedules the post for the site; an email goes with it only from the publish page.
