• BACKDATE - setting a backdate will affect the order of your content on your Publication List and on your profile page

• SCHEDULE your content to be published later if you're a higher-tier plan subscriber. If you schedule your content, until it gets published it will be accessible under SCHEDULED.
• COLLECT EMAIL - as part of the higher-tier plan you can now collect email addresses from your readers. (lead generation)
• DETECTED LINKS - as part of the higher-tier plan you can enable detected links. Learn more about what type of links can be detected here.
