With the Save as a New Update option selected, set the basic parameters for the update:
-
For Update Name, enter a name for the new content staging campaign.
-
Enter a brief Description of the update and how it is to be used.
-
Use the Calendar ( ) tool to choose the Start Date and End Date for the campaign.
note important IMPORTANT Campaign Start Date and End Date must be defined by using the default Admin time zone, which is converted from the local time zone of each website. For example, with multiple websites in different time zones where you want to start a campaign based on a US time zone, you must schedule a separate update for each local time zone. You set the Start Date and End Date for each, which is converted from the local website time zone to the default Admin time zone. img-md w-600 modal-image -
