## I can't see my content!
Is your markdown file [in draft mode](https://gohugo.io/content-management/front-matter/#front-matter-variables)? When testing, run `hugo server` with the `-D` or `--buildDrafts` [switch](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/usage/#draft-future-and-expired-content).
## Can I set configuration variables via OS environment?
Yes you can! See [Configure with Environment Variables](/getting-started/configuration/#configure-with-environment-variables).
## How do I schedule posts?
1. Set `publishDate` in the page [Front Matter](/content-management/front-matter/) to a date in the future.
2. Build and publish at intervals.
How to automate the "publish at intervals" part depends on your situation:
* If you deploy from your own PC/server, you can automate with [Cron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron) or similar.
* If your site is hosted on a service similar to [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/) you can use a service such as [ifttt](https://ifttt.com/date_and_time) to schedule the updates.
