Scheduling lets you decide when something shows up on your site (and if you like, when it goes away again). Line up a new single to appear at midnight on release day. Put up a pre-order link and let it retire itself the day the record ships. You set it once and forget about it.
Scheduling only affects your public site. Your content library and your editor always show you everything, scheduled or not, so you never lose track of your own stuff.

​
Set your timezone first

Go to Settings → Info and set the Timezone field. This is the timezone Monophonic assumes when you schedule something, so set it to whatever is most appropriate. Note that you can still pick a different timezone for any individually scheduled item if needed.

​
Schedule a section

1

Open the section's settings

In your site editor, find the section you want to schedule and click its Settings (gear) button.
2

Choose Schedule

Pick Schedule from the menu. A window opens where you can set the schedule for the whole section and for the items inside it.
3

Set your dates

Fill in Visible from, Visible until, or both. Leave one blank if you only care about the other. “Visible from” with no “Visible until” means it appears on that date and stays forever.
4

Save

Click Save. That’s it.
Under your dates you’ll see a line telling you exactly what you just set, translated into a couple of other timezones. Something like:
Goes live everywhere at Fri, Apr 24, 12:00 AM (America/New_York), that’s Thu, Apr 23, 9:00 PM in Los Angeles, Fri, Apr 24, 5:00 AM in London.
This is worth reading before you save. Your content goes live at one single moment worldwide, so if you want your midnight release to feel like midnight for your fans in London, that’s the line that tells you what your fans in London will actually get.

​
Schedule one item inside a section

Individual tracks, photos, videos, and merch items can have their own schedules, so you can drop one new track into an existing Tracks section without touching the rest. There are two ways to get there:
Open the section’s Schedule window (above). Below the section’s own dates you’ll find Item Schedules, with a row for every item in the section. Click Schedule next to an item, set your dates, then click Save Item Schedule.
Adding a track whose release date is still in the future? Monophonic pre-fills “Visible from” with that release date automatically. Change it if you like, it’s only a suggestion.
On your Links List page, every link has a small clock button next to it. Click it, set your dates, Save. Great for a pre-save link that should disappear on release day, or a ticket link that only needs to be up for a few weeks.

​
Removing a schedule

Any schedule window you’ve already saved has a Remove Schedule button. Click it and the item goes back to being always visible. You can also just clear the dates with the Clear link next to them.

​
Good to know

  • A section and its items both have to be open. An item won’t appear before its section does. If your section is scheduled for Friday and a track inside it is scheduled for Wednesday, the track shows up Friday.
  • Empty sections hide themselves. If everything in a Tracks, Videos, Photos, Merch, or Shows section is scheduled out, the whole section disappears from your site instead of leaving an empty gap. It comes back on its own when something in it becomes visible.
  • Your editor shows a badge, not a disappearance. Scheduled content stays right where it is in your editor with a little clock badge on it saying “Scheduled for…” or “Hidden after…”. That’s how you tell at a glance.
  • Changes take effect right away. There’s no publish step and no waiting around. The next visitor to load your page gets the current state.
  • Shows schedule themselves. Shows already appear and disappear based on their own date, so there’s no per-show schedule. You can still schedule the Shows section as a whole.
