Content Calendar
Schedule and visualise your content with drag-and-drop calendar views.
The Content Calendar gives you a visual overview of your scheduled content across all platforms and brands. See your week or month at a glance, drag and drop to reschedule, and use Calendar Intelligence for strategic posting recommendations.
The Content Calendar is a Creator+ feature — available on the Creator, Studio, and Enterprise plans.
Calendar Views
The calendar supports two views that you can toggle between:
Week View
Shows 7 days with time slots. Each scheduled draft appears as a card on its assigned day and time. This view is ideal for fine-tuning your daily posting schedule and spotting gaps.
Month View
Shows the full month with draft counts per day. Click any day to see the drafts scheduled for it. This view gives you a high-level picture of your content distribution over the month.
Drag-and-Drop Scheduling
Reschedule any draft by dragging its card to a different day or time slot:
- Hover over a scheduled draft card in the calendar
- Click and drag it to the desired day (and time slot in week view)
- Release to update the schedule
The draft's publish date and time update automatically.
Color Coding
The calendar uses color coding to help you identify content at a glance:
- Platform colors — each platform (LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter/X, etc.) has a distinct color so you can see your platform mix across the week or month
- Pillar colors — content pillar tags are color-coded to show your strategic theme distribution
Source Filter
Use the source filter to control what appears on the calendar:
- All — shows both standalone drafts and plan-based content
- Standalone — shows only individually created drafts
- Plan — shows only content from Content Plans
Plan-generated content and standalone drafts coexist on the same calendar, giving you a complete picture of your publishing schedule.
Quick Draft
Click any empty day on the calendar to open the Quick Draft modal and create content on the spot:
- Click an empty day on the calendar
- Choose "Generate with AI" (enter a topic and let the AI create a draft) or "Write Manually" (compose your own text)
- Optionally expand Advanced Options to set a CTA, hashtags, and image prompt
- Save the draft — it auto-schedules for 9:00 AM on the selected date
Quick Draft is the fastest way to fill gaps in your content calendar without leaving the calendar view.
Calendar Intelligence
Calendar Intelligence provides strategic posting recommendations based on your content patterns. It analyzes your schedule and suggests:
- Optimal posting times based on your content distribution
- Days where you have gaps that should be filled
- Platform balance recommendations
This feature is available on Creator+ plans.
