After your post information has been filled out:
* Designate each post with the _ Day and Time_ you want that post to be published. 
* Select your preferred Comment settings.
* Click **Create Post.**

|| _The Day is not the date of the month_, but rather notes the order of your posts. For example, if you have a 3 days of scheduled posts , Day 1 would post the first day of posts, Day 2 would post the second day, and Day 3 the final day. Later, when you schedule this template to post to a group, you will choose the actual date you want your posts to begin posting on!

That post will now be listed in that template, group, or library labeled with the Day and Time you had selected.
