Let’s visualize your content ahead

Let’s start visualizing your content items’ operations – go to   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:
  • On track – shows that your content items are in progress before their specified due dates.
  • Delayed – displays the content items' progress is past their due date for publishing.
  • Scheduled – shows you when the content items will be published.
  • Published – indicates your content items are successfully published at a specific date.
Tip: You can get the most out of your calendar when you set due dates.

Change between the views you need

When strategizing, you may have different needs for how you want to view your content items.
Switching between the calendar and agenda views.
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.
