Lightning Scheduler

Lightning Scheduler allows you to schedule a moderation state change to happen in the future.

This project was originally developed as part of the Lightning distribution (under the Lightning Workflow component), but is now a standalone project. The name was kept for making BC easier, but this project can be installed on any Drupal site.

Installation

composer require drupal/lightning_scheduler

Content moderation
