When a document contains a scheduled draft, you'll see a new pill alongside the perspectives at the top of the document pane.

Edit a scheduled draft's contents

You can only have one scheduled draft scheduled per document at a given time. To make changes to the contents of a draft, you must first delete the existing scheduled draft. Deleting a schedule does not delete your existing draft.

The schedule publish drop down menu

To delete a scheduled draft, right click the "Scheduled publish" pill at the top of the document and select "Delete schedule". You can also use the "..." menu from the scheduled drafts list.

Next, return to the draft. Make any changes, and schedule a new draft.
