How long after a STORY EDIT is approved does it change?

[PrinDY88]

A story edit has been approved (ie no longer in my pending folder). I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the usual time frame of when it will change?

The story should now show the scheduled publish date, usually next day. New stories start rolling out around 1 am Eastern (US)

Usually right around the 24 hour mark. It can be as much as 48 hours, but it's usually just before 24 when the changes start propagating.

If the submission is multi-paged, or you modified any of the metadata such as tags/title/description, then don't be worried if not everything changes immediately. The cache will eventually catch up with the entirety of the new edit — usually in less than an hour.

I tried looking for specific threads, but I didn't find one current, lol. Thank-You!!!!

Yeah, it's not a countdown like a number of hours, it's on a schedule, basically first thing on the date indicated, as of US Eastern time zone and date change. Sometimes it's midnight, other times it's 1am and I believe that the difference is according to daylight savings time. Like the computer with the publishing queue doesn't have its time changed in the summer like regular people's clocks do.

Yeah, I had this. I had a story edit disappear from my pending folder two days ago, but there's no change to the published story...

Never noticed a lag before - in the past it has been almost instantaneous.
