Have you found a solution?
We are facing the same problem recently
Topic summary
Goal: Enable weekly collection drops to be pre-uploaded and visible on the homepage as a teaser, but not clickable, then automatically become available on a scheduled publish date.
Constraint: The platform’s “future publishing” feature currently hides the collection entirely until the publish time, which prevents showing it in advance.
Requested capability: Show a collection tile/entry in advance while disabling clicks (e.g., visually present but inaccessible) until the scheduled release.
Current signals: Multiple participants report the same need and ask if a solution exists. No workaround or official method is provided in the thread.
Status: Unresolved/ongoing. Key open question: Is there a built-in setting or reliable method to display collections pre-release while preventing access until the scheduled publish?
