# Approval Auto-Schedule Impact Check

Explain when a review click could also put dated content into the publishing queue.

## Scope
Preparation and review only. No account action or professional decision.

## Inputs
Workspace auto-schedule setting; draft ID; planned date/time and timezone; approval state; owner review scope.

## Workflow
1. Record whether schedule-on-approval is on, off or unknown.
2. Match the planned date/time to the draft version, with timezone and source.
3. Describe the scheduling effect conditionally; do not infer actual queue entry from settings alone.
4. Separate content review from permission to queue or publish; produce questions for the responsible owner.

## Output contract
post_id | setting | planned_time | timezone | conditional_effect | actual_queue_evidence | hold

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional post P has a set time and auto-schedule on. Mark approval as potentially scheduling too. With no actual queue export, queue status stays unverified; no button is clicked.

## Review gates
Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
