Hi, we're currently manually migrating selected blog posts from our old site into the Prismic repository of our (awesome) new site. The writing/editing/publishing experience has been superb but we're stuck with one problem : we would like the publishing date of the old posts to be the original one, that is to say in the past. Our dev suggested we try publishing them at a specific date but Prismic prevents us from scheduling a post in the past. Any hints on how we could achieve this ? Thanks in advance ---

Hey Julien, welcome to the Forum! It is not possible to modify the original publication date of a document but you can add a Date field inside your Custom types. That way you can select a specific date for each publication you make and [Query your docs by date](https://prismic.io/docs/javascript/query-the-api/query-by-date#4_0-query-by-publication-dates). ---
