## FAQ

### How are scheduled updates executed?

Scheduled updates can be executed by WP-Cron, manually from the admin screen, or
through an optional external cron URL for environments where a server cron or external
cron service is preferred.

### Is an external cron required?

No. External cron execution is optional and disabled by default.

### Is the external cron URL protected?

Yes. External cron execution requires a generated token and must be enabled in the
plugin settings. Do not share the URL publicly.

### Does the plugin create backups?

Yes. The plugin creates JSON backups before applying scheduled updates. Restore 
backups are also created before restore operations.

### Does the plugin support ACF?

The plugin supports selected basic ACF field types. Complex ACF fields may be included
in backups, but scheduled editing support is limited.

### Will completed jobs be executed again automatically?

No. Completed jobs are not executed again by the normal runner.
