My most recent submission was marked as "Published", but does not appear in my list of works. I have 6 works in "pending", the last one is marked "Published" but I cannot locate it as a reader. (I have screen captures below) I've seen this before, sometimes it works out in a few days, once I had to delete the original and re-submit.Screenshot 2026-07-01 074225.pngScreenshot 2026-07-01 074252.png
 
Look at the date listed on the new story 😊

That's when it will go live to readers, generally around midnight in one of the North American time zones. Just don't mess with it in any way before then, you don't want to accidentally pull it back out of the publishing queue at the last moment!
 
In addition to a future date, as Penny said, stories that are about to be published will have both Published and New badges, while remaining in the Pending tab.

It is a little confusing, admittedly, but it’s as far as I know an unambiguous indication that your story will go live on the indicated future date.
