4. FAQs

How will my editions be sorted in the workspace?

All Editions will be sorted in the following order:

  • Editions scheduled to automatically send
  • Editions with a target send date
  • Editions with no target send date (no target)

How do I schedule send?

Same as you do now – click “Schedule send” in the editor, pick the date (the auto send toggle will be automatically toggled on), and click “Schedule send.”

Who can edit the target send date or turn on automatic send? 

Any collaborators with send permission can change the send date and toggle automatic sends on. Collaborators with writer permission can change the send date if automatic send is not enabled. Once automatic send is enabled, writers can no longer change the send date.
