Lattice announcement error policy post scheduled but never published

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in Lattice by acting on the exact problem first: in Lattice, open the scheduled policy post, check its audience, publish time and time zone settings, find why the schedule lapsed such as an unpublished draft state or a past date after editing, publish it now manually, and reschedule future posts with the time zone named explicitly. Do not resend the same announcement or rerun the same rollout unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one employee group or policy page first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

Lattice announcement error policy post scheduled but never published

Use this when

• The operation in Lattice fails with this exact problem: Lattice announcement error policy post scheduled but never published.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A policy rollout, handbook acknowledgment, announcement or employee question is blocked until this is resolved.

Not for this skill when

• The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with a policy wording or eligibility judgement. That is a policy owner decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named employee group, policy page or announcement in Lattice and record the full problem text plus the group, page or policy involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: in Lattice, open the scheduled policy post, check its audience, publish time and time zone settings, find why the schedule lapsed such as an unpublished draft state or a past date after editing, publish it now manually, and reschedule future posts with the time zone named explicitly. Verify: the single failing group, page or announcement now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring employee groups, policy pages or announcements that share the same audience, template or schedule, because this class of failure rarely affects only one group. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in Lattice on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the published policy text, the HR roster or the acknowledgment record, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the rollout log so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

How to fix - Lattice announcement error policy post scheduled but never published

The how to phrasing for the same failure in Lattice. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

Lattice troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

A scheduled post that is still in draft state or whose date was moved into the past by an edit never publishes, and the schedule view keeps showing it as planned until someone opens the post itself.

Edge cases

• The policy was republished, the audience changed or a group was renamed after the failing run started. Refresh the current state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single group proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other groups. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared audience, template or schedule can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The published policy text governs wording, the HR roster governs audience and employment status, and the acknowledgment record governs who signed; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: Lattice at current versions, plus the HR system, handbook or messaging tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.

TL;DR

Fix this in Lattice by acting on the exact problem first: trace the Lattice post from draft to scheduled to published states, correct the state or date that blocked it, publish, confirm it appears in the company feed for a test employee, and note the failure state in the rollout log so the next scheduled post gets a same day publish check.

Lattice troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

The feed shows only published posts, so a post stuck between states is invisible to staff and to anyone who only checks the feed, which is why scheduled but unpublished posts go unnoticed.

Edge cases

• The policy was republished, the audience changed or a group was renamed after the failing run started. Refresh the current state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single group proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other groups. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared audience, template or schedule can hide more than one cause.

TL;DR

Fix this in Lattice by acting on the exact problem first: in Lattice, open the department announcement and compare the attached policy file name and version with the current policy record, detach the wrong file, attach the correct updated policy from the policy library rather than from an old announcement, and send a correction post to the department naming the correct file. Do not resend the same announcement or rerun the same rollout unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one employee group or policy page first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

Lattice troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

Attachments copy into announcements from the composer last used file, and an announcement duplicated for another department carries its original attachment, so the wrong file travels with the copy.

Edge cases

• The policy was republished, the audience changed or a group was renamed after the failing run started. Refresh the current state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
