Use the calendar
Read your posts and posting slots by day, three days, or week, and move a post into an open slot.
The Calendar shows your posts and your posting slots day by day. Open it from the sidebar: Content > Calendar. Times are in your workspace timezone, shown next to the channel list.
Change what you see
Pick Day, 3 days, or Week at the top right. If you haven't picked one, the calendar chooses by the space it has: a week on a wide screen, three days on a narrow one, and one day on a phone. Your pick is remembered on this browser.
Select the arrows to go back or forward by the length of the view, and Today to come back.
Keyboard shortcuts work anywhere on the page, except while you're typing in a field:
| Key | Does |
|---|---|
| 1 or D | Day view |
| 3 | 3-day view |
| 7 or W | Week view |
| T | Today |
| ← / →, or K / J | Back / forward |
Read a day
Each day lists its posts and empty slots in time order. A post card shows its channel, time, status, the first line of the post, and a thumbnail when it has an image. Select a card to open the post. A dashed card is a post published outside Mark, marked with where it came from.
An empty posting slot shows its channel and time, with one of three labels:
- Gap: the slot is in the next 7 days and has no post yet.
- Open: the slot is more than 7 days away.
- Missed: the slot's time passed with nothing in it.
Above the days, each channel shows how many of its slots are filled this week, like Instagram 2/3. A slot counts as filled once its post is approved, scheduled, or published. A draft or a post in review sits on the slot but doesn't fill it yet. A channel with no slots shows its post count instead. Select a channel to hide it from the calendar, and again to show it.
To add, change, or remove slots, see Set up posting slots.
Move a post
A post can move to an empty future slot on its own channel. Published posts, external posts, and posts with changes requested can't move.
To drag a post, grab its card and drop it on a slot that reads Drop here. Only the slots that can take it light up.
To move a post without dragging:
- Open the … menu on the post card.
- Under Move to slot, choose a slot. The list has only the slots in view that can take the post.
The calendar refreshes with the post in its new slot.
What moving does to review
If the post is a draft, it only gets the new time. Nothing else changes.
Any other post goes back to review with the new time. That includes posts that were already approved or scheduled, so someone has to approve it again before it can publish. For how review works, see Review and approval.
When a move is refused
If Mark can't make the move, the calendar shows why under the days:
- "Choose a slot on the same channel." A post can only move within its own channel.
- "Choose an empty future slot." The slot's time has passed.
- "That posting slot is already occupied." Another post took the slot first. Pick a different one.
- "Published posts are read-only." The post already went out.
- "External posts are read-only." The post was published outside Mark.
- "This post changed. Refresh the calendar and try again." Someone else changed the post while you were moving it. Refresh the page and move it again.
- "That post or posting slot is no longer available." The post or the slot was deleted. Refresh the page.
- "Mark couldn't move that post. Try again." Something went wrong on our side, and we've been told.
