Yeah, it does. I just tried it.

Why do all my scheduled posts now have the same date and time, namely the current date and time (although the correct date appears when I click on them individually)?

How do I fix this to have them listed as I intended?

I'm interested in back dating because I post movie reviews. I have older reviews I wrote before I had my Substack. I would like my readers to be able to read them, but I don't want to email them or have them listed as current posts. It would be nice if they could come up if someone searches that specific movie. Thanks for going over how to do this, I think it will be useful for me.

OK, how do you "unfuturedate" a post? I created a post, saved it, paid no attention to the publication date, then sent out a note to friends telling them about it, with a link that can't be opened until tomorrow. I want it open now. How may I do this? The "Settings" button described above does not offer me any “Displayed Publication Date” option.

What? They seem to have just removed this option. Leaving my system in the lurch.

Editing “Displayed Publication Date” is no longer an option. So, now how do I select a publication date earlier than today, to publish material written previously?

I have the same question.

I am trying to bring some of my writing from the past into my Substack. Changing the date of publication is important because this isn't current but relevant to me as a self-reflective person (who one day may leave a legacy of writing!) Importing from an old blog publishes \ immediately with the old dates, but what if I don't want to publish them yet and edit? Dating in that mode shows up, but only goes 4 years back! Additionally, only 10 of my past posts were brought over. Does anyone have some guidance?

Looks like backdating is no longer possible, though they still document that it is. Maddening.
