This module allows content contributors to plan the publication date of content by specifying the date and time in the Publication dashboard.

The scheduled publication workflow also separates validation from publication. Content contributors can trigger the publication of their content once it has been validated by a reviewer. The review step is only needed when the user starting the publication workflow does not have the review permission. Consult the academy documentation to learn more.

This module currently has the Limited Availability status: it is not yet officialy publicly supported.

Custom workflows using JBPM are now deprecated, Jahia plans to provide an alternative by end of 2026.

Versions

  • Possibility to specify the date and time when a publication needs to be triggered
  • New permission used in the workflow to allow content contributor to trigger the publication themeself, once the publication has been validated by a reviewer

Known limitations:

  • It's not possible to specify the time zone to use for the publication time. The timezone used is the server one
  • The server timezone information is not displayed when starting the publication workflow
  • Users who are not an editor-in-chief cannot abort a publication when it is in scheduling, even if they have the Publication reschedule permission. We are planning on fixing this in a future release.
  • With Jahia 8.0.2, users with the Publication review permission, but without the Publish permission can click on Publish now during the review step. With Jahia 8.0.3, the Publish now button will only display for users with the Publish permission.
  • Users with the Publication start and Publication review permissions will see the Request publication button in the Publication dashboard, even though no validation step will be done, as the content will either:
    • Be directly published if the user did not set a scheduled time
    • Wait for the scheduled time to be reached to be automatically published
