    I know you can schedule a document to be published at a certain time. But how would would schedule an update? What if I have a page that is already published, but I want to update the content to become "active" at a certain time? I guess I could put if statements around the content and show or hide it. But what would be better way? I could make a snippet, but I am afraid that the html content would get forgotten and be filled with old code.

      I think you could do it by putting the current content and new content in chunks and then used a date-based PHX conditional (or a snippet) to decide which chunk to show.

        That’s kinda what I thought too. I don’t have an actual site that I need this for. It came up today at work, which I hope to be able to convert to modx in the future. I just want to have a solution for the issue. The pages that are updated are different every time. I guess I am looking for scheduled versioning.

          That might be a good feature request for Revo 2.1. I think storage of past versions is planned and it might be possible to schedule future versions as part of the process.
