We’re experimenting with a category where only staff can create new topics but everyone can reply. We post a weekly discussion topic on Mondays & for next week, I’d like to “promote” a topic initially created by a user.

I assumed I could schedule publishing for Monday like I did for this week’s topic.

But that’s not available on his post:

Because… it’s not starting from a private category?

Which… _I guess_ I understand since I suppose “publish” means “make public” here.

And, in my case, I want to use the feature to “make _more_ public”.

So this is my request to broaden the feature 😃
