Before you get started

Before you begin working with this feature, make sure to fully understand what steps should be taken ahead of time, as well as the limitations of the feature and potential consequences of using it. 

Understand limitations & considerations

• Changing a post's publish date may cause external RSS emails to include the post because the blog's RSS feed will be changed.
• Changing a blog post's publish date to a date in the past won't trigger a duplicate blog subscription email or automated social post .
• New blog posts with a publish date in the past won't trigger blog subscription emails or automated social posts.
• New blog posts with a publish date in the future won't appear live or trigger blog notification emails until that date.
