Once you’ve created a collection, you can schedule it to automatically go live and expire at specific dates and times. This is useful for planning seasonal, promotional, or time-sensitive collections in advance.

1. Navigate to **\<your name> \[Drop-down menu]** in the upper right corner and select **Admin**.
2. From the left navigation menu, select **Product Catalog** and navigate to *Curated collections*.
3. In the *Actions* column of the collection you want to schedule, select **Edit**.
4. **\[Toggle on] Active** to make your collection active.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Note:** For scheduling to work, the collection must be set to *Active* even if the start date is in the future.
{% endhint %}

5\. In the *Schedule* section, set your *Start Date*, *End Date*.

* You can also choose the time and timezone.
* Your start and end dates must be set to future dates.

6\. Select **Submit**.
