Use the calendar
See a month of posts and tasks at a glance, color-coded by stage, and add or move work by date.
Every client has a calendar that shows its posts on the day they go out and its tasks on the day they are due. If you run the workspace or work on its team, you also get one calendar with every client on it.
Open a client's calendar
Step 1: Open the client.
Step 2: Choose Calendar in the row of tabs at the top of the page (List, Posts, Tasks, Calendar).
A client's calendar. Posts are solid tiles, tasks have a dashed border. Step 3: Use ← Prev and Next → to move between months. Today's date is circled.
If the client has several brands, pick a brand's pill above the calendar to see only that brand, or All brands to see them all. In All brands, each item has a small dot in its brand's color.
What the colors mean
Each post's color shows how far along it is:
| Color | Post stage |
|---|---|
| Gray | Draft, not sent for review yet |
| Yellow dot | In review |
| Amber | Changes requested |
| Teal | Approved |
| Blue | Scheduled |
| Purple or green | Published and live |
| Red | Something went wrong while scheduling or publishing. Open the post to see what. |
Tasks use the colors of their status:
| Color | Task status |
|---|---|
| Gray | Open |
| Purple | In Progress |
| Blue | In Review |
| Amber | Changes Requested |
| Green | Completed |
Add, move and remove work
- Click an empty part of a day to start a new post on that date. To add a task instead, point at the day and click +task in its corner.
- Drag a draft post to another day to move it. It keeps its time of day. Once a post is scheduled, it can't be dragged.
- Drag a task to another day to change its due date. A completed task stays where it is.
- Right-click a post or task for Duplicate, or for Delete if you're allowed to delete.
If you log in as a client, click a date to ask your team for a task on that day. If your agency lets you create posts, clicking a date starts a draft post instead, and New task at the top of the page asks for work. Right-click a task to duplicate it, or to delete it while it's still open.
See every client at once
On Home, click View all → on the Calendar card to open All calendars. It shows every client's posts and tasks, each client in its own color and labeled with the client's name. Click an item to open it. To add something, open that client's own calendar. In a Creator workspace, View all → opens your brand's calendar.
Show your own events
Turn on Show my personal events at the top of a calendar to see events from a Google, Outlook or Apple calendar you've connected. They show with a small calendar logo and their time. Click one to change its title, date or time, then click Save. An event that spans several days can only be changed in its own calendar app.
If a teammate has shared their calendar with you, tick their name next to Team calendars: to add their events too. To connect a calendar or share yours, see Sync with Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar.
On a phone's browser
On a narrow screen the calendar becomes a small month with colored dots, and a list of days below it. Tap a day to jump to it in the list, tap it again to open what's on it, and press and hold a day to add a + New post or + New task there.
