On my site i have nodes that need to be moderated before they are published but we also enabled Sheduling of publishing nodes because some content is time based. However, if someone schedules a node to be published in November and the content is moderated in October, then, the node will publish ahead of time. Or if the node is scheduled to publish at 12:00pm and the moderator only gets around to looking at the node around 1: 00pm, it's too late, the node has already been published.

Is there some way to use Rules to force nodes to do to moderation first and then after moderation, fall back on the time it was scheduled to publish?

thanks for any insight,

Becky

Rules includes a rules_scheduler module for a lot of what you've described. In addition to scheduling publication, it appears you'd need to use some condition to check for the content's workflow status. You can use a field for the workflow status (there are tutorials in the documentation for that) and you could use something like the content moderation module as well for managing revision states.
