Step 3 - Publishing now or scheduling bulk changes

Choose whether approved bulk changes should go live immediately or at a scheduled date and time.

Publishing now or scheduling bulk changes

After you have reviewed and approved all listings in a Bulk Optimisation run, Sprintr lets you decide when the approved changes should go live.

You can either:

  • publish the approved changes now

  • schedule them to publish later

  • keep reviewing before making a final decision

Nothing goes live until you choose one of the publish options.


When you see this screen

You see the scheduling screen after the Review step, once the selected listings have been reviewed and are ready for final action.

The screen confirms:

  • how many listings are ready

  • how many listings will replace existing content

  • whether any listings are blocked

  • which listings are included

  • the date and time selected for scheduling

  • the timezone being used

This gives you one final checkpoint before any approved changes are applied.


Ready listings

The Ready count shows how many approved listings are ready to be published or scheduled.

These are the listings that passed review and can move forward.

For example, if the screen shows:

3 Ready

that means three approved listings are ready to go live.


Will replace

The Will replace count shows how many listings will replace existing live content.

This is useful when Sprintr is about to overwrite current listing content, images, or other approved fields.

If this count is zero, Sprintr is not expecting to replace existing content in that part of the run.


Blocked listings

The Blocked count shows whether any listings cannot be published or scheduled yet.

A listing may be blocked if something still needs attention, such as:

  • a missing approval

  • a platform issue

  • a connection problem

  • an unsupported update type

  • a required manual action

Blocked listings are not applied until the issue is resolved.


Listing list

The schedule screen shows the listings included in the final action.

Each listing has a status, such as:

Ready

Use this list to confirm that the right products are included before publishing or scheduling.

If something looks wrong, choose Keep reviewing and return to the review step.


Publishing now

Choose Publish now if you want approved changes to go live immediately.

Sprintr will apply the approved updates to the relevant connected stores where automatic publishing is supported.

This may include approved:

  • SEO copy

  • images

  • image metadata

  • videos, where supported

  • other listing changes included in the run

Skipped, set-aside, or blocked listings are not published.


Scheduling changes for later

Choose a date and time if you want the approved changes to go live later.

This is useful when you want to prepare listing updates in advance for:

  • campaigns

  • product launches

  • seasonal updates

  • sale periods

  • retail moments

  • planned SEO changes

  • coordinated marketing activity

Once scheduled, Sprintr holds the approved changes until the selected date and time.


Setting the date and time

Use the Date and Time fields to choose when the approved changes should go live.

Before confirming, check:

  • the number of listings

  • the selected date

  • the selected time

  • the timezone

  • whether anything is blocked

When everything is correct, select the schedule button, such as:

Schedule 3 listings


Timezone warning

Sprintr may show the timezone being used for the scheduled publish time.

For example, it may show:

Store timezone · Europe/London

Sprintr may also warn that this might not be the store’s actual timezone.

Check this carefully before scheduling, especially if your store sells into a different country or market.

If needed, use Set market timezone to review or update the timezone before scheduling.


Keep reviewing

Choose Keep reviewing if you are not ready to publish or schedule yet.

This returns you to the review step.

Use this if:

  • you want to check a listing again

  • you need to approve or skip more items

  • you noticed a problem

  • you want to regenerate an image or video

  • the schedule details do not look right


What happens after scheduling

After you schedule the bulk optimisation, Sprintr will apply the approved changes at the selected time.

Until then, the changes are held and are not live - you can always review again and reschedule, push live or cancel a schedule.

Only the approved ready listings are included

Blocked, skipped, or set-aside listings are not applied.


What you should take away

The publish or schedule screen is the final checkpoint before approved bulk changes go live

Use Publish now for immediate updates.

Use Schedule when timing matters.

Use Keep reviewing if anything needs checking before you commit.
