Gotcha. You were replying to my previous post. Sometimes, I'm a little slow! Yes, something like that would work. Thanks!

I created a workflow called "Breaking News." It has two processes, "Ready to Edit" and "Publish." The "Publish" process goes to web. I'm not seeing any option to add a "reset to now" command.

Sounds good to me. The only time I might wish we'd gone about it differently would when we're working on something breaking where we might go without a workflow. 

Kevin, Hope all is well. Hey, thanks for the input and for your help before launch! For the process we're trying to make work, I think a better trigger would be when the article hits the step in the workflow process that makes it live on the site, which would be the actual publish date/time. Reporters are adding their own section tags earlier in the process. Of course, that might change!

It's easy to go button crazy. I think I like a button for this because of the deliberateness. 

Christine, Your description is right on. In some cases, filed are created days ahead of time.

It is sure possible the editor could forget even with a simpler way to update the publish time to "now," but it seems we'd be more likely to do that with less thought and a one-click option. Thanks for the reply.
