Schedule Action Dialog is the publish-or-defer dialog for any action that can run now or at a future time. The headline names the action directly: Publish changelog entry. Two radio options sit in a ruled card: Publish now, goes live immediately after you confirm, and Schedule for later, pick a date and time below. A two-column date and time pair below with a date pre-set to 2026-06-20 at 09:00, and the timezone shown inline as America/New_York (UTC-4) so there is no ambiguity about which clock is used.
The footer carries the important honesty: scheduled actions run even if you are offline at the time, and can be cancelled or rescheduled from the Scheduled tab on the changelog page before they fire. Cancel and Confirm close the dialog.
Reach for this block anywhere an action has a meaningful deferred path: publishing, sending, deploying, or rotating a key. Wire the Confirm button to your scheduler API and show the timezone from the user profile, not the server locale.
A natural flow around it on an Application Pro page:

One strong use is scheduling a changelog publish with an exact date, time, and timezone. Other deferred-action dialogs this shape fits:
Tip: always show the timezone next to the time input; a meeting scheduled at 09:00 in the wrong timezone is a worse outcome than a late publish.
