Content and schedule statuses

Every schedule, and every piece of content on Image Banner and Media Banner blocks, has a status badge on the block’s page. Block Hero sets it from the dates. Every badge colour in Block Hero is listed in Badges and colours.
Scheduler > block page: the Scheduled card with one Active and one Scheduled schedule, and the collapsed Inactive card below

​
The Inactive card

Content and schedules that have ended move to the Inactive card at the bottom of the block’s page. On Image Banner and Media Banner blocks, content you set to Inactive by hand moves there too. The card starts collapsed. Click the arrow to open it. If a block has many past schedules, click Show more content to see older ones. Nothing in Inactive shows on your store. You can bring something back from there. See Edit, restore or delete.

​
Date badges on the Scheduler

On the Scheduler, the Content schedules column shows each block’s schedules as date badges, such as Oct 1-Oct 14. A schedule with no end date shows a plus sign, such as Oct 1+. The column shows schedules that fall in the period you picked at the top of the page, plus every upcoming schedule. Up to two badges show. Hover over + and a number to see the rest.
Scheduler home: the Content schedules column with green, yellow and orange date badges and a +2 badge

Setting a status by hand

On Image Banner and Media Banner blocks (and custom blocks), you can override the dates for one piece of content. Click the content’s name to open it, change Status in the sidebar, then click Save. Media Grid (2), Collection Grid and Collection List don’t offer it, because those blocks always follow their dates on your store.
Scheduler > block page > Edit content: the Status card in the sidebar set to Active and the 'This content status is manually overridden' banner
A status set by hand keeps working after the dates end. Content set to Active stays on your store until you change it back.
When content ignores its dates, the block’s page shows a banner such as 1 content item ignores its schedule, and its date badge on the Scheduler turns orange. To go back to the dates:
  • On the block’s page, click Return to schedule in the banner.
  • Or open the content and, in the Status card, click Click here to revert. Then save.
The banner tells you what will happen before you do it. If a piece of content set to Inactive still has dates running, the banner explains that returning it to its schedule would put it back on your store.
Theme section content has no Status setting. On theme sections and on Media Grid, Collection Grid and Collection List blocks, change the schedule’s dates instead.
