Schedule a post #238
Description
Rationale
Messages can be posted immediately to share knowledge, informations to a group or to a network.
❓Then, What is the problem?
Currently, it is not possible to schedule a post while this is allowed for news publishing for example. In addition to this, users have reported this more and more about this missing feature.
Indeed, as it is possible when sending e-mails or when using other social network (facebook for example), it is expected to schedule a post for a later date in order to plan publishing. In addition, this would be interesting to not make noise while others are not connected.
🎯 What is the goal?
For posts (incl. kudos), have the ability to schedule post and then to manage scheduled posts.
