Bug Alert

We found a bug with the scheduler in energy.gov.  Your content will still publish on time, (or within ~5 minutes).  

The issue is that it will also publish future drafts you make within 5 minutes of you saving them.

If you need to edit the page later without the changes getting published without your permission, you will need to edit the node, save a draft you can access the Scheduled Publishing date, and then delete the date & time to remove the “publish me flag” from the CMS.

We are working to correct this issue. Thank you for your patience!

Homepages, Articles, and Pages can now be scheduled for automatic publication
