Document Changes Not Appearing

Problem: Saved changes but users don’t see updates.

Cause: Changes not published yet.

Solution:

  1. Check for Unpublished Changes banner
  2. Navigate to Document List
  3. Click “Publish” button
  4. Wait for publication to complete

Monitoring and Troubleshooting Scheduled documents

Daily Checks:

  • Review Document List for status changes
  • Verify SCHEDULED → PUBLISHED transitions occurred
  • Check PUBLISHED → UNPUBLISHED deactivations happened
  • Test assistant responses with recently activated content

Use Calendar Reminders:

  • Set reminders day before activation
  • Set reminders day of activation
  • Set reminders day before deactivation
  • Allows quick verification

Common Issues

1. Document Didn’t Activate

Possible Causes:

  • Activation date was in UTC, timezone confusion
  • Document was DRAFT, not SCHEDULED
  • Document wasn’t published before activation date
  • System task delay (rare)

Solution:

  • Check document status in Document List
  • Verify activation date and compare with current UTC time
  • Publish if document is still READY/SCHEDULED
  • Contact support if persistent issue

2. Content Activated Too Early/Late

Cause:

  • Timezone confusion between local time and UTC

Solution:

  • Always work in UTC when setting dates
  • Use timezone converter tools
  • Document your timezone offset for reference
  • Set dates accounting for UTC offset

3. Can’t Change Activation Date

Cause:

  • Document is already PUBLISHED (field locked)

Solution:

  • This is expected behavior for data integrity
  • If absolutely necessary: delete and recreate
  • For future: plan dates carefully before first publication

4. Deactivation Didn’t Occur

Possible Causes:

  • Deactivation date not set
  • Date was in past (system won’t retroactively deactivate)
  • System task delay

Solution:

  • Check deactivation date is set and future
  • Manually change to DRAFT if urgent
  • Contact support if system issue
