Publish Sets

You can use Publish Sets to publish a collection of product and content drafts at the same time, and you can also schedule when you want all the drafts in the Publish Set to publish.

For example, for an upcoming product sale you make several changes to your site, and you also make several changes to some products in your catalog. You want all the changes to publish on a specified date and time, so to accomplish this you place all the draft changes in a Publish Set and specify the Publish Set to publish on a date and time.
