# How to schedule the publication of a press release

Once you finish writing, you can save your press release and exit the Press Release Creator (by clicking *Save & exit* at the bottom of the menu), publish it immediately (by changing the status to *Published* instead of *Draft*), or **schedule the publication in advance**:

1. Click the publication status inside your press release, at the top of Press Release Creator. If you haven't changed it yet, you will see the default setting—*Draft*:![new press release draft status](https://help.prowly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Help/new%20press%20release%20draft%20status.png?width=400&height=575&name=new%20press%20release%20draft%20status.png)
2. Choose the *Scheduled* status from the menu
3. In the calendar, define the date of publication, time, and timezone![new press release schedule](https://help.prowly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Help/new%20press%20release%20schedule.png?width=400&height=295&name=new%20press%20release%20schedule.png)
4. Confirm your choice by clicking the *Schedule* button. The article will go public in your newsroom at the desired time

**If needed, you can also schedule a publication with a past date.** It’s most useful when migrating multiple press releases from a different website/tool or non-public offline resources.

1. Choose the *Scheduled* status
2. In the calendar set a date from the past
3. Your press release will receive a *Published* status and will go public in your newsroom
