Social Media Tool | See drafts in your calendar
What is it?
Social Media Tool users can now create and plan their content calendar more efficiently. Draft posts can now be scheduled and viewed in the calendar, allowing users to plan their content without the concern of posts going live before they are finalized.
Why is it important?
Previously, users had to go outside Social Marketing and use spreadsheets or other software to create and schedule the content calendar for finalization or client approval. With this new feature, users can create drafts and schedule these drafts in their Social Marketing Calendar. Users can then make further edits, making sure that the post does not get published before it is finalized. This helps users save time and eliminate the need for manual work and spreadsheets when creating their content calendar.
How does it work?
How do I get drafts to appear on my calendar?
In order to have drafts appear on the calendar, you'll first need to save them with a scheduled date:
Open the composer by either clicking Compose or by editing an existing draft
Under Publish, select On Scheduled Date
Choose the date and time
Click Save draft
This draft will now appear under My Posts > Calendar.
What happens when the scheduled date arrives?
If a post is saved as a draft with a scheduled date, nothing will happen. The post will remain as a draft and not be posted to any of your selected networks.\
Where will my posts appear in Social Marketing?
How do I differentiate drafts from scheduled posts?
Drafts will be marked with a pencil icon or with an orange heading, depending on the calendar's view.
