Add content to a block with a start date and an end date, so it goes live and comes down on its own.
A schedule is the content a block shows and the dates it shows it. You add schedules on the block’s page. To get there, go to Scheduler and click the block’s name. If the block doesn’t exist yet, see Schedule your first block.How you add a schedule depends on the kind of block.
One schedule holds a set of content blocks that go live together.
1
Set the dates
On the block’s page, in the Content Scheduling card, pick a Start date and End date, or tick No end date. A new schedule starts when the block’s latest schedule ends, or now if there is none. Change it if you need to.
2
Add content blocks
Click Add content block and fill it in. Repeat for each item. If the block has a limit, it shows next to Add content block as the number used out of the number allowed. Drag items to change their order.
3
Save
Click Save in the save bar at the top of the page. While you have unsaved changes, the card shows Not saved.
Your schedule appears on the block’s page with a status badge: Scheduled until its start date, then Active. See Statuses.Dates and times are in your store’s time zone. See When content goes live.
These dates overlap another schedule in this block. or These dates overlap other content in this block.
A block shows one schedule at a time. Change the dates so they don’t overlap another schedule.
Give ”…” an end date first. It has none, so nothing can be scheduled after it.
Earlier content on this block has no end date. Give it an end date first.
On Media Grid, Collection Grid, Collection List and theme section blocks, you can repeat a schedule a week later. Open the schedule’s menu and choose Duplicate. The copy opens with the same content and its dates moved forward 7 days. Check the dates, then save. See Edit, restore or delete.
