The Publish Box Summary Preview As long as you’re logged in, you can preview what a post will look like before it goes live. Visibility Make it public, password protected for site, or only for Authors and Admins. You can also force the post to always show (sticky). Publish Date By default, publishes immediately, but you can also schedule a post in the future or set the date a post was published to the past. Status Save the post as a draft for later. Publish a contributor’s pending post or publish new content yourself.
