How do I set team steps, embargo and take-down times?

In this story

Where: Stories → All stories → The story editor

Open this page: admin.<your-site>/articles (replace <your-site> with your site address). Then open the one you want.

Where to find it

On a laptop it is in the right-hand column of the story editor. On a phone or tablet, scroll down below the story. Open Team steps and timing. Teams with one writer may not see it.

Steps

  1. Stage: pick where the story is in your team work, for example writing or editing.
  2. Keep hidden until a time (embargo): pick a time. The story stays hidden from readers until then, even when published, and then goes live by itself.
  3. Take down at a set time: pick a time. The story comes down by itself, for example after an offer ends.
  4. Scheduled edits: change the story here, then choose Apply the changes at and tap Schedule these changes.

Good to know

  • A live story cannot be put under embargo. Unpublish it first.
  • Scheduled edits can be up to 30 days ahead.
