## Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `jobId` | string | Yes | A scheduled post, from chiefOfStaff.status. Matches ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,63}$. |
| `paused` | boolean | Yes |  |
| `expectedRevision` | integer |  | The revision you last read: 0 for something never saved. A different revision means someone else changed it first. 0 to 9007199254740990. |
| `idempotencyKey` | string | Yes | Any unique text you generate once per intended change, so a retried request only happens once. Send it as the Idempotency-Key header instead if you prefer; if you send both they must match. 8–200 characters. |
