How do I schedule a post for later and manage my drafts?

In the new-post window, choose Schedule for later under When, pick a date and time, and select Schedule. Nobody sees the post, and nobody is notified, until that minute.

Available when your school turns on the News Feed.

Schedule a post

1. Select New post and write it as usual.
2. Under When, choose Schedule for later.
3. Pick a date and time. It uses your school's time zone, and the form names it. You can schedule up to a year ahead.
4. Select Schedule. The button says Schedule instead of Post.

A time in the past, or less than a minute ahead, is refused with a plain message. At the chosen minute, the post appears and members get their usual single notification.

Manage scheduled posts and drafts

Your scheduled posts and drafts are listed above the feed. Only you can see them. On the iPhone, iPad and Mac app, open the calendar-clock button in the News Feed toolbar. For each one you can choose:

• Change time
• Back to draft
• Post now
• Delete

In the app, touch and hold a post (right-click on Mac) for these actions, or swipe left to delete.

If something changes before the time

If the school turns off the News Feed, or your posting access is removed, before the scheduled minute, the post quietly becomes a draft instead of appearing. Nobody is notified.

Delete a published post

Delete your own post from the feed. Administrators can remove any post.

Good to know

• Drafts do not notify anyone.
• You can only see your own scheduled posts and drafts.
