# Schedule a post

> Queue a LinkedIn post to publish at a specific date and time.

Carousify can publish your post immediately or queue it for a future date and time. Scheduling lives inside the same **Publish** flow you use for instant posts — no separate scheduler.

## Write your post

Open **Create New Post › Write New Post** (or go to **Post Generator**) and write your content in the editor. The right side shows a live LinkedIn preview as you type.

Once you're happy with the copy, click **Publish** in the bottom-right.

## Toggle Schedule on

Clicking **Publish** opens the **Publish Post** dialog. Nothing publishes until you confirm — by default the dialog is set to publish immediately.

Flip the **Schedule post** toggle on. The dialog reveals a date and time picker.

Set the date and time you want the post to go live — the **Publish Now** button changes to **Schedule**. Click it to queue the post.

The post now shows **Scheduled for \[date, time]** along with a **Re-Schedule** button if you want to change it.

<Tip>
  Date and time use the timezone you set during onboarding (**Workspace › General**). If you schedule for 5:00 PM, that's 5:00 PM in your workspace timezone — not the viewer's.
