## Overview

The «Publish Control» feature allows users to manage the publication and distribution flow of documents.

## Configuration

You can enable and configure the «Publish Control» per Content-Type:
In it's most basic form, Publish Control allows for immediate publish and unpublish only:

```js
{
  handle: 'myArticle',
  // ...
  publishControl: {}
}
```

You can enable the single capabilities per content-type, in this case Scheduled Publishing:

```js
{
  handle: 'myArticle',
  // ...
  publishControl: {
    publishSchedule: true, // default: false
    unpublishSchedule: true // default: false, rarely used, only enable that with a very specific reason
  }
}
```
