Result

The knowledge article is published on the scheduled publish date depending on the following workflow settings of its knowledge base:
  • If the knowledge base workflow is set to Knowledge - Instant Publish, the knowledge article is automatically published on the scheduled publish date. The Workflow field on the Knowledge form of the article is updated to Scheduled for publish.
  • If the knowledge base workflow is set to Knowledge - Approval Publish, the knowledge article is published on approval completion. The Workflow field on the Knowledge form of the article is updated to Review.

    • If the approvals are completed after the scheduled publish date, the article is published immediately on the approval completion.
