Time Release
Schedule updates • End Contests • One-day Sales Event

Stop babysitting your Web site(s). Time Release will remove or add content at the date and time you specify. This is easily done by setting the date and time in the HUD and adding your content to the appropriate areas.
The HUD
Show Server Time: (optional) a tool to help you determine your server's time. It is explained below.
Timezone: (optional) Using this to set the timezone for your page will make calculating your date and time easier. List of Supported Timezones
Year: requires a four digit number.
Hour: Uses a 24 hour clock. This means if you want the change to happen at 8 p.m. you will enter 20, but 8 a.m. would be 08.
Month, Day, Year: are required for time release to work.
Hour, Minute: If you choose not to set the hour or minute, be sure to leave them at zero.
Preview Switch: Allows you to see your hidden content in preview mode.
NeatNic Enabled: The Hide checkboxes help you clean up your workspace by hiding features you don't want to see while you are in edit mode.
Note: Time Release will use your hosting server's clock. So you will need to adjust your time to account for the difference, if any.
