Scheduled Block Editable
General
The scheduled block element allows to manage scheduled content within an editable. Basically the scheduled block is very similar to the standard block editable. You can configure one or multiple sub editables that are repeated multiple times as block items. The difference is, that within the scheduled block each block item has a specific timestamp and in the frontend only one block item - the one with the corresponding timestamp - is displayed at a time (not all within a loop).
In editmode, additional block items can be added and their timestamp can be configured.

And in the frontend of the application:
In document preview, Pimore provides a time slider to get the preview for a certain time as soon as the document has at least one scheduled block editable.
