Have you found yourself setting due dates for your content items and wondering who is responsible for them before they get published?The built-in editorial calendar makes it easy to manage content items and their assignees. Use the calendar together with the project overview to benefit your planning.

Let’s visualize your content ahead

Let’s start visualizing your content items’ operations – go to  rocket icon Mission Control > Editorial calendar. You can see due dates, content items scheduled for publishing, and published content items. The calendar puts your content items into four categories. This is to help you quickly check how your content production efforts are going:

Change between the views you need

When strategizing, you may have different needs for how you want to view your content items.
Using the dropdown next to the Today button, you can switch between the Calendar view and Agenda view.
  • The Calendar view gives a detailed overview of the content items over the selected month. It is useful for a quick overview when planning.
  • The Agenda view gives a compact list of days when content items are due, scheduled, published, and more.

Filter content items in your calendar

If you see too many content items in the calendar, use filters in the Refine results panel.
