This module allows users to schedule a specific revision of content to transition to a different moderation state at a future date. It works seamlessly with any entity type that supports content moderation and does not require adding extra fields to the entities.
Users may select a specific revision, and it will be changed to a different moderation state at a specified date.
Scheduled Transition differentiates from other scheduling projects by providing a smooth user experience, and by not adding scheduling metadata as fields on the scheduled entity.
The module works with any entity type compatible with content moderation (nodes, custom blocks, etc). No custom integration work required. Transitions may be scheduled for individual translations of each entity.
Documentation
A guide to installation, config, and usage is available in the Introduction to Scheduled Transitions blog post.
Minor configuration and permissions are required to set up the module. Site builder and user guide are available in the Guide to Scheduled Transitions.

Usage

- Users create content as normal, creating revisions naturally. Revisions move between states such as draft, needs review, published.
- When the content reaches a point where its ready to be published. Find the ready revision and take note of which revision it is.
- Go to the Scheduled transitions tab for the content.
- Click Add scheduled transition button.
- Locate the ready revision, and schedule it.
