Set the schedule
- Select the correct launch and open Schedule.
- Read the device timezone displayed by the form. Inputs are local to this device and stored as absolute timestamps.
- Choose Schedule mode. Use the offered exact-time mode for a single time or Launch window for a start and end.
- Enter the required time or Window start and Window end. Ensure the end is later than the start.
- Press Save launch details and read Saved schedule.
- Check Reminder state. Countdown reminders remain unarmed until the launch advances to Launch approaching.
- If a previously saved schedule changed, review the separate watcher notification decision in Broadcasts.
Timezone and reminder limits
A recorded timezone label can differ from the device timezone in which you are editing. The current form states that arbitrary timezone conversion is not provided. A window’s countdown uses its start. Read the displayed absolute result after saving.
Common mistakes
Saving the date does not automatically arm countdowns or notify watchers of a change. Advance the lifecycle before the reminder due time and make the communication decision explicitly.

Countdowns, confirmation health and delivery states

Understand the launch lifecycle and next action
Follow the available action and its prerequisite instead of skipping stages.
