The scheduled content plugin allows you to organize app features into categories and schedule when they become visible to users. You can add start and end dates, choose whether times follow the app owner’s timezone or the user’s timezone, customize design layouts, and set rules for unreleased or secured features.

Requirements

  • This is a Boost plugin, available on the Standard, Growth, and Scale plans.

    2. Add background images for mobile and tablet.

    3. Optionally hide category and feature text.

  5. In the Settings tab:

      1. Show as faded until they are active.

      2. Hide completely until the start date.

    3. Adjust Secured Feature Behavior:

      1. Hide – feature is not visible if the user lacks access.

      2. Disable – feature shows but is locked, with a message “You do not have access”.

Pro tips

  • Use user-based timezone scheduling when your audience is global, so features release consistently by local time.

  • Enable “Remember Last Visited Category” to improve user experience for returning users.

  • Use the “faded unreleased items” option when you want to build anticipation for upcoming content.

  • Combine with the Security tab to restrict scheduled features to specific users or member groups.
