Calendar View
See your content pipeline on a calendar and plan when each piece publishes.
The Calendar View gives you a visual timeline of your entire content pipeline — see what's in progress, what's ready to go, and what's already published, all laid out by date.
Where to find it
Click Calendar in the left sidebar. This opens your content pipeline with the calendar view selected by default. You can switch between Calendar and List views using the toggle at the top of the page.
How Content is Color-Coded
Every piece of content on the calendar is color-coded by status so you can tell at a glance where things stand:
- Editing (blue) — Content that's still being worked on. It hasn't been finalized yet.
- Finalized (green) — Content that's been reviewed and is ready to publish.
- Published (purple) — Content that's already been sent to your CMS.
You'll also see a pipeline summary bar at the top of the page showing how many items are in each stage, with numbered circles connected by lines — a quick snapshot of your overall pipeline.
Using the Calendar to Plan Content
You can use the calendar to map out your publishing schedule without auto-publishing anything. Setting a planned publish date is just a planning tool — it doesn't send content to your CMS on its own.
Find an open date
Hover over any future weekday that doesn't have content scheduled. You'll see a dashed outline labeled Select item to plan publish.
Pick your content
Click the empty date cell. A panel slides in showing your Finalized content that doesn't have a date yet. Use the search bar to find a specific piece by title or keyword, then click the card to select it.
Confirm the schedule
Click the Schedule button at the bottom of the panel. Your content now appears on that date in the calendar.
You can also set or change a planned date from inside a content's detail view — click any item on the calendar, then use the Planned Publish date picker.
Setting a planned publish date on content that's still in Editing works fine for planning purposes. Auto-publish only processes items that are Finalized and when your permissions are set to Auto-Publish ON, so content in Editing won't go anywhere until you move it forward.
Using the Calendar with Auto-Publish
When Auto-publish is turned on for your workspace, the calendar becomes your publishing schedule. Content that is Finalized with a planned publish date will be automatically sent to your connected CMS.
You'll see an Auto-publish: ON or Auto-publish: OFF badge at the top of the page next to the view toggle. Click it to jump to your integration settings to change this permission anytime.
When Auto-publish is on and a finalized item has no planned date, the date picker will show No auto-publish date set as a reminder that this content won't publish until you choose a date.
For full details on how auto-publish works, timing, and how to enable it, see Auto-Publish.
Viewing a Content Item
Click any piece of content on the calendar to open its detail view. You'll see:
- Status — The current stage (Editing, Finalized, or Published) shown as a color-coded badge.
- Keywords — The focus keywords assigned to this content.
- Planned Publish — The scheduled date. You can change it here using the date picker, which includes quick options like Tomorrow, In a week, and 2 days after next planned. Dates that already have other content scheduled are highlighted so you can spread things out.
- Open in Editor — Takes you directly to the content editor to view your content or make changes.
Viewing Publishing Performance
Click View Publishing Performance at the top-right of the page to expand a bar chart showing your publishing output over time.
The chart plots how many pieces you've published and compares it against your content velocity target (if you've set one). You can toggle between Week and Month views to see different levels of detail.
When your output meets or exceeds the target for a given period, the bar gets a green checkmark. The dashed target line shows labels like Target: 3/wk or Target: 12/mo depending on your view.
Tips
- Spread your posts out. The date picker highlights days that already have planned content. Aim for a steady cadence rather than stacking several posts on one day.
- Plan ahead in batches. Finalize a week or month of content at once, then use the calendar to space out publish dates.
- Use it as a planning tool, even without auto-publish. The calendar helps your team see what's coming up, regardless of whether content publishes automatically.
