 * How do you keep the permalink the same across the original and updated versions?
   The permalink of the scheduled updated cannot be the same in the back end.

 * The permalink of the scheduled update is indeed not the same. It’s handled by
   wordpress and is not really important as the scheduled update shouldn’t be visible
   to visitors of your site anyways.
 * The original permalink stays the same because what we are doing is copying the
   content from the scheduled update back to the original post and the subsequently
   deleting the schduled update to achieve this exact effect.
 * You can have a look at the [code](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tao-schedule-update/tags/1.13/tao-schedule-update.php#L599)
   to see what’s going on.

 * It would be nice if the temporary page’s permalink would be the same, for example“
   update”. So instead of example.com/page-permalink/page-permalink it would be 
   example.com/page-permalink/update. It’s easier to use as preview, for example
   to get approval from third parties.

 * [@flixflix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flixflix/) that’s just asking
   for trouble. What do you propose should happen when there are two updates scheduled
   for the same page? Do we use /page-permalink/update-2/ then? and what is shown
   under -2, the update that was created second or the update that is going live
   second?
