# How To Publish A Schedule

## Objective

Publish a reviewed schedule version for the people, dates, and schedule items that agents should see.

## Environment

- You have permission to publish from **Scheduling**.
- The schedule version is saved, and its shifts and activities have been reviewed.

## Resolution

1. Open **Workforce Operations** → **Scheduling** and select the schedule. Review its dates, shifts, and activities. Save any pending changes.
2. Select **Validations** and review the latest run and **Current findings**. Resolve findings that need schedule changes before publishing. See [How to Use Schedule Validations](/help/articles/review-schedule-validations/) for the check workflow.
3. Select **Publish** in the schedule toolbar. In **Publish schedule**, check the **Publish to** destination, then set the **Start date** and **End date** that agents should receive.
4. Under **Publish type**, choose **Shifts only**, **Activities only**, or **Both**. Choose the item types that are ready for agents.
5. Under **People to publish**, keep **All people** or choose **Select with filters**. When filtering, review the matching people and their checkboxes. Confirm the summary of how many people will receive the schedule.
6. Review the destination, dates, publish type, and selected people once more, then select **Publish**. Wait for the success message and check its people, date, shift, and activity counts.
7. If an agent reports that the schedule is missing, compare their profile, date, and published scope with [Investigate Why An Agent Cannot See A Published Schedule](/help/articles/investigate-missing-published-schedule/).
