Scheduling a holiday campaign to go live at midnight on our Shopify store
Planning ahead for Christmas (yes, in April, that is how our calendar works). We want the festive campaign content to flip over at midnight on launch day without someone staying up to press publish.
Two questions: does scheduling exist in Croct, and how do stakeholders check the content beforehand so nobody gets a surprise at 00:01? Would rather organise this properly now than improvise in December

Yes on both counts.
Scheduled publishing is available on the Scale plan: experiences support a Scheduled status, so you set the go-live time and the content flips automatically. Nobody needs to be awake at midnight. There is a similar thread with the details at Scheduling a campaign launch for midnight.
For the review step, the experience editor generates preview links you can share with stakeholders. Each link is valid for 24 hours, so send them out the day before sign-off rather than a week early, and regenerate if someone needs another look.
One more thing worth knowing for the wind-down after the holidays: pausing the experience reverts to the default slot content immediately, so taking the festive content down in January is also a single dashboard action.
