Does this work with custom post types? We are using Article CPT at HelpHub and Handbook CPT on DevHub. It would be really helpful if we could have this pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party activated on both, as well as on Docs blog. Thank you.

  @milana_cap as long as a CPT supports revisionsRevisions The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision., the scheduled updates will work with it! I’ve activated the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.
