    Description

      In 4.5 you can schedule activation on a page (and its children) by specifying a raw date. It would be convenient if editors could create "releases" with a name and a date. And then when they could specify this release when they activate content. This way many different content items could be scheduled to be released at the same time. And the time for this release could be changed by only editing the "release".

      Use case:
      Consider a company planning a campaign or an update of many parts of its website, related to events or seasonal activities. Maybe they want to plan and develop new "releases" of the website for weekly or daily updates far ahead of time.

      (Inspired by video on prismic.io cms website https://prismic.io/)

      I wouldnt want to make it any harder to schedule content to be released in the future - so this could either be in addition to being able to just add a date - or a "release" could be created automatically with an auto-generated default name if you just specify a date.
