## Details on How Post Changes Works

For each expiration event, a custom cron job is scheduled. This can help reduce server overhead for busy sites. This plugin REQUIRES that WP-CRON is setup and functional on your webhost.  Some hosts do not support this, so please check and confirm if you run into issues using the plugin.

## Logs for All Your Post Changes

PublishPress Future Pro allows you to keep a detailed record of all the changes that happen to your posts. PublishPress Future records several key data points for all actions:

* The post that the action was performed on.
* Details of the change made to the post.
* When the change was made to the post.
