Notes
You may need to complete other required actions before scheduling the email. If scheduling is not available, ensure that you've personalized the email and assigned it contacts before continuing.
You may also see review tasks for any content that is linked from the email, for example a landing page. You'll need to personalize and publish these items too, as you won't be able to send the email until all its linked content has been reviewed.

-
